The 2025 Wyoming Legislative Session. Week 2.

Well that thread got massive quickly.


The imported Southern politics of the 1970s was pretty thickly in evidence this past week. Actions were taken against dangerous foreign aliens by passing out of committee a bill that makes the mark of alienage even more prominent on driver's licenses, where its already noted.  Secretary Gray stated he "wouldn't accept" anything other than "not a US Citizen" on drivers licenses, but that took up too much room so its just going to be Non US or something like that.

The bill caused the Facebook crowed to come out in mass, with a fair number of people believing that all aliens are illegal aliens, which isn't even close to being true, and others believing that aliens can bring drivers licenses from their own darned countries, dagnabbit.

Really?

I'd take this one step further, if we're going to have it.  As a native, and therefore a provincialist, I'd have our state of birth on your license plate, such as "I'm a Californian".  That way we can really tell who is alien.

Rep Mike Yin of Teton County, one of the few Democrats in the legislature, caused a tiff when he proposed amending a bill that requires new voter registrants to provide all kinds of proof of citizenship to be extended to all current registered voters.

It makes perfect sense.

If vast hordes of aliens have registered to vote, as some would have it, well, they're already registered.  We can root them out by requiring everyone to provide proof of citizenship.

Yep, Leopards won't eat my face.

Well, this upcoming week promises to be even more eventful.

January 20, 2025

Cowboy State Daily columnist and former speaker of the house Tom Lubnau really went after the Freedom Caucus with both barrels in his recent article.


This provoked outrage on Facebook with one commentor noting that Lubnau, who is a 'Wyoming native, and the son of a Wyoming native, must be from out of state.

The basic gist of their counter argument was "nuh-uh!"

A taste of what Lubnau stated:
Before the legislature passes something that sounds good with a bunch of blowhards at the bar, bellowing their bellicose bullshit, it should carefully analyze the consequences to future taxpayers and those dependent on state retirement. 

January 23, 2025

HB48, which would have dedicated efforts to understanding why Wyoming has the highest juvenile incarceration rate in the US, and which would have authorized sharing information with the Federal Government, was killed by the Freedom Caucus. 

I guess learning that sort of thing may be "woke".

House Bill 80,  the “Stop ESG State funds fiduciary duty act", brought a blizzard of criticism from money managers leading to attempts to amend it, although it did pass out of committee and has passed two readings in the House.

January 25, 2025

So here's the results after the second week.  If you view the chart below, and it says "received for introduction", it's passed one house and is on to the other.

The WFC did move its 5&10 agenda through the House, and its on to the Senate, in spite of, or perhaps because of, it being a combination of unneeded and illegal.  It'll likely scrape by in the Senate. Whether the Governor is willing to sign the bills is another matter.  Hopefully not.  That sets the next race for the Governor's office to be a screaming match featuring those who are going to claim that we must have a Governor who worships the Orange Idol Donald Trump, assuming that Trumpism hasn't completely flamed out by then, which there are already some signs that it is.

The right wing bill that would remove a requirement for Home Schooling parents to check in with their local school districts and approve their curriculum passed, not surprisingly.  A lot of the people in the WFC have a fear of education and don't trust it, reflecting a rejection of science and a selective approval of Evangelical Protestantism over science in various things.  A current problem the nation faces is that the population is increasingly ignorant, and views like this are why.

Removing protections for otters passed, which is odd as all the science there shows their numbers are decreasing.

A very poor bill that restricts state investments if the investment boards don't believe the same thing the WFC does, passed. That's going to be difficult to comply with and dump state returns in the flusher, the latter of which I don't think is really a concern for the WFC which hates government, basically, anyway, and is pretty hateful fo government employees as well.

A proposed tax on services failed, again, as people who provide services, like lawyers, doctors and accountants, don't like it.

The bill that will ultimately cause their to be a state income tax, the bill dropping property taxes in half, passed.  What could go wrong?

The bill to repeal gun free zones which will guarantee a future tragedy passed.

A JOINT RESOLUTION

 

for

 

A JOINT RESOLUTION demanding that the United States Congress, in consultation with the legislature of the state of Wyoming, extinguish the federal title in those public lands and subsurface resources in this state that derive from former federal territory, and do so in recognition of the sovereign rights of this state, as set forth in its congressional act of admission into the union, and in recognition of the solemn duties resting upon Congress under the admissions, property, claims, and guarantee clauses of Article IV of the United States constitution so that the state of Wyoming shall, in due course, obtain full admission into the Union of States upon an equal footing with the original states in all respects whatsoever.

 

WHEREAS, an indispensable element of state sovereignty is the capacity to exercise sovereignty and jurisdiction over the soil within state borders; and

 

WHEREAS, a constitutional state does not exist in those places where a state's independent sovereignty and legislative jurisdiction do not apply; and

 

WHEREAS, the original states jealously retained complete sovereignty and jurisdiction over all of the territory within their external boundaries, including unappropriated former British crown lands claimed by the states under both the articles of confederation and the United States constitution; and

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Admissions Clause, article IV, section 3, clause 1 of the United States constitution, new states admitted into the Union of States are admitted upon an equal footing with the original states as to political rights and as to sovereignty, including territorial sovereignty; and

 

WHEREAS, section 2 of the Wyoming act of admission provides that "The said state shall consist of all the territory included within the following boundaries, to wit: Commencing at the intersection of the twenty-seventh meridian of longitude west from Washington with the forty-fifth degree of north latitude and running thence west to the thirty-fourth meridian of west longitude; thence south to the forty-first degree of north latitude; thence east to the twenty-seventh meridian of west longitude, and thence north to the place of beginning." This section excepts only the lands dedicated to Yellowstone National Park within this border and any lands as may be subsequently added to that park by Congress; and

 

WHEREAS, under the equal footing doctrine, the new state of Wyoming became entitled to exercise sovereignty and jurisdiction over all of the territory dedicated to its purposes by virtue of Wyoming's act of admission, excepting only Yellowstone National Park and additional lands as Congress may subsequently choose to add to the park; and

 

WHEREAS, more than forty-six percent (46%) of the surface and more than sixty-nine percent (69%) of the subsurface resources of the state of Wyoming, as described by Wyoming's act of admission, remains under federal "title"; and

 

WHEREAS, lands and subsurface resources under federal title in the state of Wyoming are subject to a supreme and complete federal political jurisdiction without limitation, analogous to the municipal powers of the state itself, including police power, and also special maritime and territorial jurisdiction under 18 U.S.C. § 7(3); and

 

WHEREAS, as a consequence of supreme and complete federal political jurisdiction without limitation over the aforementioned forty-six percent (46%) of the territorial extent of the state of Wyoming and over sixty-nine percent (69%) of its subsurface resources, the state can exercise no jurisdiction in those places in a sovereign and independent capacity and, for this reason, this land and these resources cannot be, and have never been, part of the sovereign and jurisdictional state of Wyoming despite the fact that this land and these resources were included, under Wyoming's act of admission, as being lands committed to the purpose of the new state; and

 

WHEREAS, in order that the sovereign and jurisdictional state of Wyoming may obtain equal footing as to political rights and sovereignty with the original states, to which it is entitled under the Admissions, Claims and Guarantee Clauses of the United States constitution, the federal title in the aforementioned land and resources must be extinguished by Congress in compliance with its constitutional mandate to dispose property under the Property Clause; and  

 

WHEREAS, continued failure on the part of Congress to fulfill its duty to dispose of the aforementioned land and resources has resulted in two constitutional violations including: 1. Congress has admitted into the Union of States an entity that is less than and different in dignity or power, from those political entities which constitute the Union, and 2. Congress is exercising over the aforementioned land and resources of the state of Wyoming a form of government that the United States Supreme Court has termed "repugnant to the constitution" and that is notoriously denied to the United States under the Tenth Amendment of the Bill of Rights.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MEMBERS OF THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF WYOMING:

 

Section 1.  That the members of the Wyoming legislature commit to upholding article IV, section 3, clause 2 of the United States constitution and Wyoming's act of admission.

 

Section 2.  That the members of the Wyoming legislature demand that Congress confirm to the Wyoming Legislature, on or before October 1, 2025, its intent to dispose of the federal title in the aforementioned land and resources and its intent to do so in a manner as to subserve the long withheld sovereign interests of the people of the state of Wyoming.

 

Section 3.  That the members of the Wyoming legislature recognize this state's firmly established and popularly supported public land culture and economy that are integral to the state of Wyoming and therefore propose that the lands above mentioned be disposed of to the state of Wyoming and, thereby, be maintained as state public lands.

 

Section 4.  That the members of the Wyoming legislature recognize that the state of Wyoming has authority to absolve Congress of its constitutional duty to dispose of any portion or all of the former territorial lands remaining within this state's borders.  Accordingly, this legislature expresses its willingness to negotiate cession to Congress of the state's sovereign jurisdiction over any lands that may be mutually recognized as of national interest.

 

Section 5.  That the secretary of state of Wyoming transmit copies of this resolution to the President of the United States, to the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives of the United States Congress and to each member of the Wyoming Congressional Delegation.

This bill is bullshit.  It's notable that of the two persons whose names I recognize, both are from ranching families, at least kind of.  One ran on "less government, more freedom" (Ide). This bill is for more government and less freedom.
