More Cause-N-Effect

When a federal government passes a stimulus bill that weighs over 866,000 tons in actual weight (davefoulk’s got his numbers wrong), you get this kind of heartening reaction:

“… the 81st Legislature of the State of Texas hereby claim sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States…

…RESOLVED, That this serve as notice and demand to the federal government, as our agent, to cease and desist, effective immediately, mandates that are beyond the scope of these constitutionally delegated powers.”

The sovereignty roll swells larger by the day. For those of you who don’t know what I’m talking about, here’s a good place to start.
