GOPDD: TN State Senate Passes Resolution to Sue Feds over Refugees: ‘A Declaration of Our Rights as a Sovereign State’

By Jen - Feb 23, 2016

(Via Breitbart) The Tennessee State Senate overwhelmingly passed a resolution by a 27 to 5 margin requiring a state lawsuit against the federal government program that is dumping refugees into the Volunteer State.
Senate Joint Resolution 467 now goes to the Tennessee House of Representatives, where sources tell Breitbart News it is expected to pass some time in the next three weeks
Passage of the resolution by the State Senate means that it is certain a lawsuit will be filed against the federal government’s Refugee Resettlement Program on Tenth Amendment grounds, something that no other state has yet done.
