South Carolina lawmakers have advanced a measure asserting state sovereignty, saying they want to send President Obama and Congress a message.
The resolution declares the Palmetto State has the right to ignore any federal law or policies it deems unconstitutional. Similar resolutions are being considered across the country.
A Senate panel approved it Tuesday. The House has already passed a similar measure.
Proponents criticized the various federal stimulus and bailout packages as passing on debt to future generations, despite citizens’ objections.
