Our country’s republican vendors may be all talk when it comes to refusing the refugee resettlement forced by Barack Obama, but at least one state’s legislature is refusing to back down.
NASHVILLE, Tennessee–The Tennessee General Assembly is on track to sue the federal government over the refugee resettlement program on Tenth Amendment grounds after Senate Joint Resolution 467 cleared its last substantive hurdle in the Tennessee House Finance Committee.
The resolution sailed through the committee on a voice vote, and is now headed to the Calendar and Rules Committee, which will schedule a vote on the floor of the House of Representatives some time during the next seven days. The resolution is expected to pass in a landslide, as 74 of the House’s 99 members have already signed on as sponsors.
In February, the resolution easily passed the State Senate by a 27 to 5 margin.
“As SJR 467 is moving forward, other states will read our actions. I am pleased that seventy-four of my colleagues believe wholeheartedly that Tennessee is responsible for asserting our state’s sovereignty rights under the Tenth Amendment,” State Rep. Terri Lynn Weaver (R-Lancaster), the sponsor of the resolution in the House, tells Breitbart News.
“We have seen unprecedented federal overreach during the Obama administration. We need clarity and definition concerning the relationship between the federal government and our state when it comes to appropriations to pay for the federal Refugee Resettlement Program,” Weaver adds.
Tennessee has a huge task at hand in order to win in a federal court, but should they succeed, it would be a major accomplishment for states rights for yearns to come.

How can WE? The whole govt is corrupt and turning a blind eye
Kill them before they can bred .. they are insects waiting to be swatted back to where they came from
They need to get out of the USA now !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do it
Tennessee needs to push harder at this traitor. He has committed so many crimes against this country and its people he needs to be impeached and tried for treason, murder, aiding and helping the enemy with millions of dollars and a lot of weapons. Don’t understand why this cannot happen other than the fact the whole government is as corrupt as he is.
You go Tennessee or behind you break that bastard
Thank you Joel
no where in the constitution does it mention term limits for congress., only that the senotors serve for a 6 yr term and reps for 2 yr terms. It does not say they have unlimited terms
Clif Hart, you are right!
