Tennessee RINOs file a fake state sovereignty bill that does absolutely nothing.

Do not be deceived. For the second year now, Tennesseans have been advocating for the Restoring State Sovereignty Through Nullification Act sponsored by Rep. Bud Hulsey and Sen. Janice Bowling.

This bill would put a process in place by which a Bill of Nullification could be brought directly to the floor for a roll call vote at the petition of registered voters and/or county legislative bodies. That is important because it creates a mechanism by which the General Assembly can be brought to action by the people.

This bill gives Tennessee a process to stand up against unconstitutional federal overreach and declare the sovereign rights of citizens of this state which shall not be threatened by an out-of-control federal administration or court.

But as we've come to expect, RINOs like to get credit for doing "something" while actually doing nothing. So, Sen. Adam Lowe has filed SB 2058, the Tennessee State Sovereignty Act of 2024.

Want to know how this bill purports to stand up to the federal government? It creates a committee, a committee led by the Speakers of the General Assembly who appoints the members of every other committee in the House and Senate.

Conservatives want to know that our legislature has what it takes to meaningfully stand up to federal overreach. If they reject the Restoring State Sovereignty Through Nullification Act and instead choose to move forward with the Tennessee State Sovereignty Act of 2024, then we will know that they lack both the will and the courage to stand.
