South Dakota Moves to Block White House EOs. A Preview of Joe Biden vs. Kristi Noem?

South Dakota Moves to Block White House EOs. A Preview of Joe Biden vs. Kristi Noem?

There's a chance I might be jumping to too much of a conclusion here. But it's politics and that's what we do. I also doubt I'm the only person who read about South Dakota looking to legislatively block Joe Biden's any president's executive orders deemed harmful to the state and thought "Kristi Noem 2024." Noem already put local media on blast for not covering the jobs being destroyed. Allegedly, destroyed by Biden's climate executive orders. This week, state Senator Aaron Aylward has a bill to review EOs that could be damaging to the state. There's a lot of legalese. They want the AG to have the ability to exempt the state from any order viewed to restrict people's rights. For example, executive orders having to do with:

  • A pandemic or other public health emergency.
  • The regulation of the financial sector through the imposition of environmental, social, or governance standards.
  • The regulation of the constitutional right to keep and bear arms.

I don't pretend to understand politics in South Dakota. This may be like introducing a balanced budget amendment knowing it won't go anywhere. But a lot of people are out of work (allegedly) at the stroke of Joe Biden's pen. Even more due to certain restrictions concerning a "pandemic or other public health emergency." Kristi Noem has already entered the national stage speaking out about all these examples.

It also presents a potential debate of federal vs states rights. POTUS signs executive orders believed to have adverse effects on some American citizens. Should state legislative bodies have the ability to reject them? Does the tenth amendment come into play? Questions like this are why Half Asian Lawyer Bill Richmond makes more money than I do.

I'm just saying. IF this is the unofficial soft open of a Noem '24 campaign, it's a verrrrrry interesting one. And I'm very much here for it.
