Here we go!! Arizona to secede (without OFFICIALLY doing so)!!!!

China?

Some jurists have asserted that the Ninth Amendment is relevant to interpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment. Justice Arthur Goldberg (joined by Chief Justice Earl Warren and Justice William Brennan) expressed this view in a concurring opinion in the case of Griswold v. Connecticut (1965):

The Framers did not intend that the first eight amendments be construed to exhaust the basic and fundamental rights.... I do not mean to imply that the .... Ninth Amendment constitutes an independent source of rights protected from infringement by either the States or the Federal Government....While the Ninth Amendment - and indeed the entire Bill of Rights - originally concerned restrictions upon federal power, the subsequently enacted Fourteenth Amendment prohibits the States as well from abridging fundamental personal liberties. And, the Ninth Amendment, in indicating that not all such liberties are specifically mentioned in the first eight amendments, is surely relevant in showing the existence of other fundamental personal rights, now protected from state, as well as federal, infringement. In sum, the Ninth Amendment simply lends strong support to the view that the "liberty" protected by the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments from infringement by the Federal Government or the States is not restricted to rights specifically mentioned in the first eight amendments. Cf. United Public Workers v. Mitchell, 330 U.S. 75, 94-95.

Good point there.

the US is to be divided into 10 regions, then merged with Canada and Mexico to form the NAU

if youre a mexican and youre on here, QUIT stealing wifi! you thieves! hahahahah :D

time to secede is when fed gov can no longer borrow money.

they will be unable to pay soldiers to enforce their tyranny.

at time the states can use militias and drive a stake through the heart of the federal monster.

Arizona would prosper..

LMFAO... yeah right! Isn't it time for your siesta????

Arizona will become the richest and happiest country in North America.

O.K. homie you bring your claws my team & I will bring our AKs & ARs.........scared o you

Possible

A state with balls. Im a Texan and i envy them,for their courage. Lets stand together with our sister state. Fuk Mccain

Glad you think so

not much firewood laying around..

my US girlfriend who lives in Arizona said that they are building trains track in the city the city train ?? anyways think of the freedom of transportation in the Phoenix and Arizona regions

no more oil cartels no more worries clean transportation

GOD BLESS ARIZONA

I say cut off every sexually distinctive genitalia and have Nikki...oh, wait.

I love Arizona. Fuck those bean pickers up.

Hot damn!

Anybody know any good realtors in Arizona?

It's amazing how some people always bring up my medical history no matter the subject.

After all these years here it is a tad boring.

I'm pissed and thought it to be witty.
Sorry.

Arizona would improve quite a bit..

get rid of all federal Aid to arizona , that means the illegal immigrants can't get no more welfare and food stamps so they will leave Arizona..

What makes you think they can't survive without the US government. I think the states can operate fine without federal assistance. Especially when they say to their citizens, that they no longer have to shovel out federal income tax, that all taxes will now go to the republic of arizona,

Save the real estate agent commission and just move into one of the thousands of empty homes around Phoenix Arizona.

My question is- if Arizona seceded and Mexicans found they could acctually overun it- wouldn't it just be more of the same as in Mexico- and everyone would be running farther north?
It's not like Mexico is overcrouded and you need more space, like Arizona. More like your political situation is so screwed up you want to run away. So WHAT THE HELL DIFFERENCE WOULD IT MAKE TO YOU IF ARIZONA WAS PART OF THAT MESS????????????????

Or they will turn on whitie and start really running amok, not to mention and increase of drug cartel action.

When the call went out that Mexico was attacking Texas, the word went out by horseback messenger. AMERICANS came in droves from the surrounding states(territories). We are only taught about the Alamo. I'm from Arkansas, Texas is the front line. Don't think that lots of us won't come to the aid of Texas or any other state from threats "foreign or domestic". GBA, also bless states rights.
