The state of Tennessee is one step closer to filing a Tenth Amendment lawsuit in federal court to end the United States Refugee Resettlement program in that state.
The Finance, Ways & Means Committee of the State Senate overwhelmingly passed Senate Joint Resolution 467 in a bi-partisan nine to one vote.
The resolution now goes to the State Senate floor, where it is likely to pass, then on to the State House, where it is also likely to pass.
In Tennessee, the state legislature (called the General Assembly) has the authority to file this lawsuit, which may prevail in the courts on Tenth Amendment grounds, if Republican Governor Bill Haslam fails to act.

I wish them success and believe in a rational world where the rule of law was still in place they would be successful but alas those days are gone.
