Catawba College politics Professor Michael Bitzer likened the resolution’s ideology to that of many Southern states following the U.S. Supreme Court’s Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, Kan., decision in 1954 that required nationwide public school integration.

“They basically want to ensure that a long line of U.S. Supreme Court rulings have no validity either here in Rowan County or here in the entire state,” Bitzer said. “They’re basing it on — to put it mildly — discredited legal theory that the states can deny the power of the federal government within their jurisdiction. We saw this in the aftermath of Brown v. Board of Education. The belief is that the states hold more power than the federal government. If the federal government does something, the states can simply ignore it.”

In a statement released Tuesday, ACLU of North Carolina Legal Director Chris Brook took aim at the resolution.

“The bill sponsors fundamentally misunderstand constitutional law and the principles of the separation of powers that date back to the founding of this country,” Brook wrote.

I don't know what statutes to charge them under - I personally want them tarred, feathered, and run out of the country by an angry mob! - but I DO NOT WANT TO HAVE TO REVISIT THE END OF SLAVERY AND MY RIGHT AS A WOMAN TO VOTE, LET ALONE THAT I HAVE RELIGIOUS FREEDOM (among other benefits).

Anyone who tries to remove those things locally deserves Jail at the very least. I can pick up some roofing tar, and feathers are cheap.
