The “Utah Sovereignty Act,” which went into effect this year, is what they claim allows them to do this.
The Legislature may, by concurrent resolution, prohibit a government officer from enforcing or assisting in the enforcement of a federal directive within the state if the Legislature determines the federal directive violates the principles of state sovereignty
Which… why even have a U.S. at that point? Just secede if you feel that way.
Just secede if you feel that way
The land doesn’t even belong to them. Between the Bureau of Land Management, National Forests, Parks, National Monuments, National Recreation and Wilderness Areas the federal government owns over 70% of Utah.
Simple, hold all federal spending for the state. Start moving all federal jobs out of the state, start a BRAC to close all military bases in the state.
Misquoting the Constitution in a transparent attempt at justifying Constitutional violations?
Why does this sound familiar?
I’m so tired of this! I’ve been asking someone DESPERATELY to Shoot up a room full of 6 year olds so I can FINALLY Pretend to care about the Constitution again!
I’m not shocked they’re doing it, I’m just shocked they didn’t use it to bring back polygamy too
They don’t need to bring it back—Polygamy is still in the Mormon church. They believe in eternal marriages and after a civil (normal) divorce they won’t let women remarry but men can marry again in the church. Same thing if your spouse dies.
Mormons expecting to go to heaven and meet all their wives up there.
It was made legal in 2020. And seems to have made it illegal again in 2022, two years later.
Mormons in Utah (a territory at the time) practiced polygamy, but the federal government made ending it a requirement for statehood. So since we’re just ignoring federal laws now…
