Politicians in other states may roll over and play dead as the federal courts trample their laws, but not Alabama! There’s an organized resistance developing in the Deep South, and it might just be the turning point on marriage that many Americans have been waiting for.

South Dakota Governor Dennis Daugaard signed several bills into law from the 2015 South Dakota legislative session, including: a bill regarding coordination of benefits between health plans, veteran preference in state hiring, auditing standard for the Dept. of Revenue, farm machinery tax exemptions, dental licensing and more.

Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore is doing what officials should have been doing since judicial tyrants in 2003 in Massachusetts first declared open war on marriage: just say no. The judiciary has no authority to make law in our constitutional republic. When the courts issue edicts that contradict established law and the Constitution, they are behaving lawlessly, and should be ignored if not immediately impeached.

Four years ago, the Republican-controlled U.S. House — elected on the strength of an anti-Obamacare wave — passed its first repeal of the hated legislation. This week, the House repealed Obamacare again — and is sending its bill (along with a blueprint to replace the law) to the U.S. Senate, which is under Republican control for the first time in eight years. How high are the stakes?

Some of the important bills being considered by the South Dakota Legislature today include a couple of concealed carry bills, a pardon for a “t-rex” scientist, abortion reporting, mental exams for convicted criminals, returning voting rights to convicted velons, providing taxpayer funded government health care to pregnant illegal aliens, female genital mutilation, and more.
