If passed this would allow these states to take all the federal mandates and say 'forget you to the federal government'. The choice then would be if the federal government wished to push the states to follow their guides (and cause a backlash) or just give in. This could include taxes raised for roads, schools, ect not being collected with state protection for the citizens.

Be interesting to see where this goes especially if 20 other states jump on board.....

The governor of Texas not only signed the bill but called out Obama publicly. It's about time someone stood up to the illegal pressure the feds put on state legislature. The fed can't force the states to pass laws outside the constitution so they withhold federal tax money until the states comply. It's total BS and illegal. Federal Congressmen and Senators who pass such laws should be imprisoned.
