Nullification with Teeth: Georgia bill proposes up to 30 years in prison for federal agents attempting to enforce laws not delegated to the federal government by the constitution. - http://www.reddit.com/r...
I'd like to see them pass that and then legalize marijuana, then sit back and watch the fireworks.

sorry for a comment from a non-american not very competent in american politics: sounds a bit like this http://www.imdb.com/title... ...

I see a fair number of interstates going through Georgia, are they prepared to deal with paying for their maintenance?
- Tudor Bosman
Tudor: they don't need to pay for the maintenance -- they can just put up tollbooths at the borders and let motorists passing through pay for it all.

Didn't we have some sort of minor conflict back in the 19th century that put states like Georgia in their place? Is Sherman still on reserve duty?
- Jim Norris
Jim: the reserves are all deployed overseas, so there's nobody left stateside to enforce the Yankee laws on the South.

Oh, god, not again... Another asshole in the GA legislature grandstanding for his base with a nonsense law. To "enforce" this, you'd need a determination of constitutionality (a vague category on the best of days) for each "action" taken by a federal agent. If all of my daughter's grandparents weren't in Atlanta, we'd be heading for SFO or CDG.
- Joel Webber
Joel, would those be your only two choices? SFO and CDG don't seem to have much in common...
