Correction – HOARD…in addition to a plain ole citizen, not the sharpest tool in shed.

Purchased Judge Napolitano’s book yesterday and THE FAIR TAX BOOK. I’d love to hear your thoughts/comments on this alternative “tax”.

I have watched him on Fox News for a long time and I feel he is very wise. I am very thankful for Judge Andrew Napolitano. I have watched him on Fox News for a long time and I feel he is very wise.

You have the right to demand compliance, and if it cannot be obtaiend, you have the right to ignore the whole contract." Jeff, that's not the way contract law works. It is based on equitable relief. Indeed, if I make that contract for cabinets and countertop for $5000, and you only deliver the countertop, it's simply not true that I can abrogate the entire contract and owe you nothing. Any court will make me pay for the portion of the contract related to the countertop. “breached term.

Governors need to be making a lot of noise in support of The States constitutional rights as being inherit necessary for the maintenance of freedom of their own state as much as the state now besieged by the Federal government. They need to uses the “crisis” as a microphone, to speak the needed words of liberty and Constitutionalism. An attack on the rights on one state must be regarded as inherently an attack on the rights of ALL States. If the feds can hit them they can do the same to anyone of us, if we don’t stand with them, we will be next.

As a radical conservative, I have been advocating removal/restructuring for some time now. The music to my ears is knowing an official agrees. An interesting thing about all this is that through the sovereignty the relationship is similar to bankruptcy. Their 'debt' is exclusively theirs! The other part of this is to use common law, as a definition of state law. Seems we fall under maritime law when we pass their 'bar' when appearing in their court system. Admiralty is one thing, but I can't recognise being put on a boat. Then there is the minor problem of being subject to British Naval law. Not a good deal no matter how it comes at one... And yes, I too will get a copy. Keep up the good work. Good to hear good news.

While I agree the Judge has written a book that should be required reading, this review smacks of the sour grapes so typical of career academics.

I suspect that any civil unrest will do so much harm to the economy at this point that it will merely spark a greater movement to restore the constitution not the government. It hinges on the military and what side they take not what DHS does. There will be defections in each but which will retain the power and which will be joined by the masses to set the rule of law back on its rightful course is not so much a guess as one might think. Reading the individual web pages of soldiers who post them one get the distinct impression they have already decided what to do and it isn't to follow the powers that be. There are also many veterans who will stand united against a move against the people under the guise of restoring power to the government. In any case this nation will be either returned to legitimacy in a very short time or the anarchy will be far greater than any force available to the government could possibly triumph over. It will after all be a revolt against the ruling class not so much between the people.

The road to Sucession is long and very predictable.. giving plenty of time for other States to decide their own fate. But The out come of succession is that yes, sovereignty is recognized, an Army is raised and a currency is instituted .Sucession is the ultimate slap in the face of a form of government.. look at the old soviet Satellite states.
