The World According to Oatney

Fighting the Power

There seems every indication that the House version of the bill, sponsored by Nashville Representative Beth Harwell, will also pass by a wide margin. Today's vote in the Tennessee Senate marks the latest salvo in a growing popular movement of resistance to the encroachments of federal power. It is happening in States and localities right across the Union, but Tennessee seems to have the market on it of late. The General Assembly now has a Committee of Correspondence which is dedicated to spelling out all of Tennessee's collective grievances with Washington, and then encouraging other States to pass sovereignty resolutions as well.
