If Joe was humming a little bit of Disney’s ‘Just Can’t Wait To Be King’ as he rocked up to that Big Desk, this letter from six State Attorneys General should bring him back down to Earth.
Old Joe Biden has been sending out Executive Fiats like they’re going out of style. At one point, he even admitted not knowing exactly what it was that he was signing.
Maybe that wouldn’t be a problem if he weren’t so busy signing Executive Orders that people wonder if he knows he’s not actually a king. KING BIDEN? Schumer Wants Biden To Invoke ‘Climate Emergency’, Use Sweeping Powers
That’s where the six State AGs come into this story.
A coalition of state attorneys general on Wednesday sent a letter to President Joe Biden reminding him that any potentially unconstitutional executive actions or federal overreach will not go unchallenged.
The letter, signed by six attorneys general (AGs), puts the Biden administration on notice that any actions that might exceed their statutory authority, are inconsistent with constitutional tenets, or place civil liberties at risk could trigger legal action by the states.
“We stand ready to meet with your administration to discuss more how the issues below affect our States; litigation is never first option, and we would like to help your team in its important job on behalf of all Americans, consistent with the Constitution and the rule of law,” West Virginia AG Patrick Morrisey, who is leading the group, wrote in the letter addressed to the White House (pdf).
“Yet if you sign unconstitutional laws passed by Congress, it will be our responsibility and duty to challenge those laws in court. If cabinet officials, executive officers, and agencies go beyond the bounds of their statutory authority, fail to follow legally required procedures, or fall short of the bedrock Administrative Procedure Act obligation of reasoned decision making, it will likewise be our responsibility to take action.”
…The letter notes the freedom of religion and religious expression, and the right to bear arms as two areas of concern.
The AGs said that while there is always pressure for U.S. presidents and Congress to exceed their power “lest they be judged to be ignoring important issues or failing to address critical problems,” it is a president’s duty to uphold the U.S. Constitution’s separation of powers as well as respect the sovereignty of the states.
They added that limits on federal power are not a flaw of the Constitution and that when certain issues that are excluded from the federal sphere need to be addressed, the “states are ready and able to do the job.” –EpochTimes
What six states are standing up to Dictator Joe? (We only call him Dictator by his own definition of the word because Joe himself said that anyone who tries to rule by Executive Order instead of legislation is a ‘dictator’. (We covered that party in the King Biden story linked above.)
The states sending the letter include not only West Virginia, but also Arkansas, Indiana, Mississippi, Montana, and (no surprise here) the great state of Texas.
Those six get the message about being called ‘for a time such as this’.
If you don’t know the reference or know what that has to do with putting courage in the soul of ordinary folks standing up against bad situations and worse odds, you really need to get your hands on this.
In Doug Giles’ latest book, Biblical Badasses: The Women, Giles spotlights ten epic ladies who did awesome things for God with the odds severely stacked against them. These girls weren’t your typical church ladies. They were holy movers and shakers who upset hell with their God-honoring, faith-filled, lives. Giles’ unique take on these terrific women makes the scripture come alive. This book is real, raw, relevant, and irreverent. Giles’ prayer is that after reading, Biblical Badasses: The Women, not only will your noggin be filled with these amazing tales of high and lows from real women who rocked in a hard place, via the power of God, but that you will get off your butt, quit pursuing stupidity, start chasing down your high calling and at the end of your life, you too, like the holy femme fatales featured herein, will have left a massive scar on Satan’s haggard backside.
