There are several “pushback bills” pending in the South Carolina state legislature that would, among other things:
- Call for the state to ignore unconstitutional White House “executive orders” as determined by the state itself;
- Consider all federal laws that exceed the delegated powers in Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution “null and void and of no force whatsoever”;
- Call for an Article 5 convention of the states to amend the Constituton to impose additonal constraints on the federal government;
- Redefine the right to bear arms as “a fundamental and inalienable right”;
- Criminalize Antifa/Black Lives Matter-style mob violence, including shutting down public highways;
- Protect religious freedom from COVID lockdowns;
- Prohibit mandatory vaccines;
- Void any federal enforcement of mask mandates;
- Limit the state’s governor’s authority “during states of emergency.”
