S.21-4.6: Truman says fun with Tobacco Labeling Act (Tabled)

[reagente]

TRUMAN SAYS FUN WITH TOBACCO LABELING ACT
Whereas, the region of Fremont passed the Plain Packaging Act which directly contradicts, violates, and nullifies a lawful statute of the government of Atlasia, and;
Whereas, the Plain Packaging Act, a regional law, was drafted and carried into execution by the sitting Attorney General, Harry Truman, and;
Whereas, despite the obvious conflict of interest the Atlasian Attorney General has opined that the Plain Packaging Act, a regional law, supersedes contradictory Atlasian statutory law regardless of the Supremacy Clause of the Atlasian Constitution on the grounds that we “demonstrate … genuine attachment to the principle of regional rights. If … not, we shall know that all this talk of federalism is a humbug and merely a flimsy disguise for their putative devotion to the monied interest. We call on all the friends of labor to stand firm against the combination of the communists and fascists in their war on regionalism. This war we must and shall win for the liberty of all Atlasians under the constitution.”, and;
Whereas, the sitting Attorney General, Harry Truman, has determined that regional nullification of an Atlasian statute is appropriate when regional rights and the liberty of the people are threatened, that failure to engage in such regional nullification benefits communists and fascists, and that the Atlasian Department of Justice would not enforce a nullified Atlasian law;
Now, therefore, we the Chamber of Delegates of the Southern Region, under the principles of comity and regional equality, do hereby ordain and resolve the following:
1. That it is position of the Chamber of Delegates of the Southern Region that certain provisions preempting regional governments from regulating the packaging and labeling of tobacco products found in the Cigarette Labeling and Advertising Act, an Atlasian statute violates regional rights and the liberty of the people.
2. That accordingly, those certain provisions of the Cigarette Labeling and Advertising Act are hereby nullified within the legal jurisdiction of the Southern Region. No local, State, or Regional money or resources shall be expended in the enforcement of this statute, nor shall any local, State, Regional, or Atlasian employees or agents shall enforce, or attempt to enforce, this statute within the Southern Region.
3. That all packaged tobacco products subject to the Cigarette Labeling and Advertising Act sold in the southern region include printed on the label in a size equal to any other required warnings one (1) of the following messages: A) FREMONT SUCKS or B) PHUCK FREMONT
4. That any provision herein found to be unconstitutional by a court of proper jurisdiction shall be severable from the remainder of this act.

[Mr. Reactionary]

It appears this bill conveys more consumer information than the Fremont fart and screech plan. Well done. Maybe a similar bill can be done targeting the packaging of an agricultural product from Fremont that requires each package to play "Dixie" when opened. Something something crush the red brown alliance.

Ah, a thread somehow old enough that it predates my first election to the CoD.

It will be 2130 and I'll still be dean of the Chamber of Delegates.

[At-Large Senator LouisvilleThunder]

Fremont has been engaging in forced compelled speech on tobacco products in their region in the name of regional rights. The South is responding here with this.
