Members of the Missouri General Assembly are seeking to enact legislation to nullify unconstitutional federal government policies.
Senate Bill No. 1141 (SB 1141) is sponsored by Senator Mike Moon (R-Ash Grove). If enacted, it would prohibit state departments or agencies from enforcing any rules or regulations implemented by federal agencies on or after August 28, 2024. The only exception is if the General Assembly votes to approve enforcement of a specific federal regulation.
Additionally, SB 1141 would require the state Committee on Administrative Rules to review existing federal regulations and recommend to the General Assembly any that should not be enforced. The bill allows Missouri citizens to request review of any specific regulation.
If enacted, SB 1141 would be a major step toward nullifying unconstitutional federal actions and preventing Americans’ liberties from being infringed. Additionally, it is an excellent application of Article VI of the U.S. Constitution, which states “[t]his Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof … shall be the supreme Law of the Land.”
Since the various forms of infringement outlined in these bills violate the U.S. Constitution, they cannot be considered “made in Pursuance thereof” and, thus, are not “the supreme Law of the Land.” Unfortunately, in the last several decades, thousands of unconstitutional laws on the federal, state, and even local levels have been created and enforced.
Because of this, it is imperative that officials at all levels of government push back against this lawless regime and robustly enforce the Constitution and only those laws “made in Pursuance thereof.” The above bills are excellent models for other states to follow.
Urge your state representative and senator to support SB 1141 and to push back against all other unconstitutional laws at every level of government.
