The resolution recognizes the sovereignty of the State of West Virginia and asserts its standing in matters that affect its residents. It references the Tenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which reserves powers not delegated to the federal government to the states and the people. The resolution emphasizes that the authority of the states is inherent and that any judicial ruling that limits this authority is unconstitutional. It also highlights the responsibility of the people and their elected representatives to govern themselves, as outlined in both the U.S. Constitution and the Constitution of West Virginia.
Furthermore, the resolution explicitly states that West Virginia will not acknowledge any judicial authority that denies its standing in governance-related matters. It declares that any attempts to restrict the state's standing are illegal, void, and an infringement on the sovereignty of both the people and the state. This resolution serves as a formal declaration of West Virginia's commitment to uphold its rights and authority in the face of perceived judicial overreach.
