Yeah, I'm pretty sure only the Supreme Court can issue stays...

I think that for a region to have the power to issue stays or nullify laws, even if temporarily, would be unconstitutional because it demonstrates a disregard for federal law.  The federal Constitution simply doesn't afford the right to dictate those laws to the regions for any duration or reason.  If there is a law on the books that this region opposes or sees as a hindrance to our freedoms, we can only act on our right to sue.  Independent of whether or not it's right, it is the law, and I'm hesitant to sign a bill knowing that it's unconstitutional.  This is a kind of change I would prefer we advocate for on the federal level, as I'm definitely not opposed to the issuing of stays on principle.

For the record, I'm willing to sign the bill if SJoyce's amendment is adopted.  Otherwise, I cannot get behind the bill in its current form.  I am not willing to open that can of worms.

(That is, unless PiT wants more work on his plate. Tongue)
