So eleven North Carolina Republicans are pushing through a resolution that pretty much ignores both the US Constitution and their state constitution. So what is your take on this raiders? I'm especially interested in anyone's view from North Carolina.

Personally I'm outraged. This is so Unconstitutional it boggles the mind to even contemplate this. It is one step short of just establishing a state religion in my opinion. Now lets look at it in full.

Section 1:

The North Carolina General Assembly asserts that the Constitution of the United States of America does not prohibit states or their subsidiaries from making laws respecting an establishment of religion.

Hello Representatives Ford and Warren yes it does, its called the Constitution. which any 5th grader can tell you is the Supreme Law of the land, even your own State Constitution Article 1, Section 5 of the North Carolina Constitution requires the state to observe federal law: "Every citizen of this State owes paramount allegiance to the Constitution and government of the United States, and no law or ordinance of the State in contravention or subversion thereof can have any binding force." However in the spirit of debate, I'll allow you to ask the Supreme Court, who as you know is given the right by the Constitution to decide what is Constitutional... Wait this brings up Section 2.

The North Carolina General Assembly does not recognize federal court rulings which prohibit and otherwise regulate the State of North Carolina, its public schools, or any political subdivisions of the State from making laws respecting an establishment of religion.

To me this suggests that they know it is unconstitutional to begin with. Why else would they ignore any federal court ruling?

Defense of religion? I thought we already had the 1st Amendment which gave us the freedom of religion. So what more do they want with it? Now I don't live in North Carolina and I never will, but this seems a bit too silly. I agree it is unconstitutional and its a stupid proposal.

This comes as close to a succession for the states that I can think of. Righting a law that ignores the rulings of the supreme court and ignores the U.S. Constitution. This in and of it self is a crime against the people living in North Carolina. If this passes I see another civil war starting, once again between the North and South.

Edit #1: If this passes, you end up breaking the most paramount part of the U.S. Constitution. The right of the people to persue life, love and the pursuit of happiness. You end up breaking another right of the people which is the right of religious freedom. Furthermore it also breaks the seperation of church and state that this country was built on.

    • jelly3384's application for Enlistment Form Questions Name you wish to use and Age: (Our unit uses realistic names, this does not have to be your real name) Pigeon, 16 Platform Type Epic Games Store Steam ID (Use 17 Digit SteamID 64 / PC Game Pass Account Username): Pigeon_theft   Do you have a microphone? Yes   Which game title are you applying for? Hell Let Loose   If you've selected Hell Let Loose, do you understand that this game is currently not cross platform capable and only PC players currently may apply? ( Steam or PC Game Pass) Yes   Why do you wish to join the 1st Marine Raiders? I've played BFV and milsimed in it, and it was a lot more fun when I milsimed. and I enjoy playing HLL, so I think it is going to be more fun when I join.   Did any of our current members play a part in you enlisting? If so, who? If none, how did you learn about us: I found you guys from a website called disboard when looking for HLL milsim groups to join.   This unit offers more than just a place to play games with each other, do you have any online skills you think would be useful? no   Do you have any Leadership experience that you think will be helpful? I'm not sure if it will be helpfull,but I used to be in BFV milsim groups and in my last one I got to [E-7] out of [E-1] to [O-8], so I was a NCO and I helped the officers with whatever they needed doing, weather it was assisting with training, settling disputes or helping them decide what was appropriate disciplinary action. And when we were in combat I was usually assigned to lead my own squad.   Have you ever been in a realism unit before, and if so, which unit was it? yes. I was in quite a few BFV milsim groups, although I was only in one at any given time. unfortunately, I have left the discord servers and I do not remember the names of them. if you would like, I could probably give a reference to someone who was an officer in most of the groups I was in.   By posting this Enlistment form, I acknowledge the instructions completely, declare that I am 16 years old or older, and agree that I have and will follow server and unit rules maturely and respectfully or face immediate rejection.
