- AZ’s Russell Pearce believes ‘Tentherism’ revokes your United States citizenship?
- States' rights have been the basis for all kinds of right-wing resistance to civil-rights measures, beginning with the South's claims in the 1950s and '60s that Brown v. Board of Education and the Civil Rights Acts were infringements upon them; Ronald Reagan frequently resorted to this argument as he began his climb up the food chain of the GOP.
But Tentherism is states' rights on steroids. And in Pearce's hands, it's approaching advocacy of the most extreme far-right belief system — "sovereign citizenship," or the Patriot/militia belief that individual citizens can declare themselves exempt from federal oversight.
