Naturally, we've had a floor vote this term EXPANDING the state's power to seize and dispose of your property without a conviction. Only three reps voted no. You can view the roll call vote here: http://michiganvotes.org/RollCall.aspx?I

Are Metro Detroit police officers law enforcers or revenue gatherers? A Detroit News series that begins today notes that police have dramatically stepped up their seizures of citizens' assets under the state's forfeiture laws -- often without obtaining a criminal conviction. ...
Justin Amash intends to vote no on every bill on today's agenda except for SB 583 (click on the Notes tab for the agenda). Session starts at noon. Follow along right here for explanations and vote tallies.

A reporter again misses the mark. My joint resolution, HJR Z, nullifies ANY new law that forces participation in a health care system. It targets mainly Michigan gov't, not the federal gov't (Tenth Amendment already covers that). Unfortunately, Prof. Friedman was not given a copy of HJR Z, because he would have recogni...zed that it is markedly different from other proposals, including the one introduced by Sen. Kuipers.Read More

Now that the U.S. House of Representatives has passed its version of the enormously controversial healthcare reform bill, the debate on universal healthcare is set to heat up even more as the bill comes to the Senate, where it will be significantly harder for the Democrats to squeak out a victory. ....
Another blow to liberty. Under this line of reasoning, I suppose the government may search and seize without reason, so long as they eventually find reason. You can read the entire opinion here...

Justin Amash thanks our veterans and their families for their service to our country.
Justin Amash Pres. Obama apparently misses the irony in his citing the unfairness of forcing people to subsidize others.

During an exclusive interview with ABC News’ Jake Tapper today, President Obama said that penalties are appropriate for people who try to “free ride” the health care system but stopped short of endorsing the threat of jail time for those who refuse to pay a fine for not having insurance. ...

Justin Amash "The approach [the Michigan Legislature has] mainly adopted is a massive expansion of discriminatory tax breaks and subsidies for particular firms selected by state bureaucrats or political appointees."

In the face of their failure to reverse an economic decline that's been underway this entire decade, Michigan politicians are perennially desperate for ways to show they're "doing something" to fix the problem. ...
Rep. Amash, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement: “Mr. ...
Justin Amash Take a look at today's vote tallies. Does the Michigan Legislature look partisan to you? The real problem with state government is not partisanship but rather non-deliberation and unanimity.
Justin Amash The House stands adjourned until Thursday at noon.
Justin Amash just voted yes on HB 5246, which provides greater protections from civil liability for funeral directors who properly dispose of cremated remains that go unclaimed for at least six months. It passed 100-0.
Justin Amash just voted no on SB 776, which transfers money from the Juror Compensation Reimbursement Fund to the General Fund. Although I oppose the concept of restricted funds, I believe that money already placed in a restricted fund should not be diverted. The bill passed 92-8.
