No, Mr. Panetta, the president is NOT authorized to do what you claim.
TIME Magazine: No Better Than a Broken Clock
Even when the mainstream media writes an apparent fair article on nullification, they get far more wrong than they ever get right
Obama Blusters, Brewer Begs. When will Someone Grow a Spine?
Isn’t it time that Governors and state Attorneys General stopped wasting our precious time and money playing these silly legal games, grow a spine, and actually fulfill the oath they took to support and defend the Constitution, including the Tenth Amendment?
Nullification: 3, Real ID: 0
In spite of the fact that the Constitution was recently read in Congress, several senior Republicans must have either been absent or just weren’t paying attention to what they were hearing.
Are All Governments Socialist?
When it comes to governments, it’s not a question of if, but of how much
Getting Confused by Nicknames, Old and New
The task of patriots today is to do everything in their power to defeat the advocates of consolidated government
Nullifying Commerce Clause Abuse in Arizona
I predict that Arizona’s SB 1178 will startle our overlords in Washington, DC and deeply offend them in much the same way that the immigration act, SB 1070, did.
Interposition, Nullification and Popular Resistance
“nullification is actually the opposite of sedition and should be understood properly as an important safeguard against sedition, which necessarily involves the subversion of the Constitution.”
The TSA, Interposition and the Spirit of 1809
“Our Constitution encourages local governments to stand up when the federal government goes too far..These naked X-ray machines..constitute an unreasonable search,” which violates the Fourth Amendment.
“Unconstitutional Law” is an Oxymoron
The Tenth Amendment prohibits the federal government from interfering with a state’s decision to either allow or prohibit the cultivation, distribution or use of marijuana within its own boundaries (case law involving the Commerce Clause notwithstanding).
The Impossible is now Possible
Unlike the reformist strategy which seeks to mobilize power within Washington, DC in order to reform and redirect that power, nullification seeks to diminish and redistribute that power through relentless, decentralized, but ideally coordinated, acts of state level, constitutional resistance.
You’re Not Entitled To Your Own History
Progressives that promote nullification (state medical marijuana, for example) yet denounce it as a tactic, are little more than partisan frauds.
Usurpation: The Weapon By Which Free Governments Are Destroyed
Whenever the people who make up the federal government, either as individuals, as departments or as branches, exercise power not expressly delegated to them as specified in the Constitution, they are usurping the authority of either the states or the people.
Arizonans Dare To Defy The Feds Again!
Just when you thought Arizona couldn’t get any more provocative, or push any more of the federal government’s buttons, it looks like America’s 48th state may actually become the 15th state to adopt another very controversial law!
A Bright Idea: Less Litigation And More Interposition!
While favorable court rulings are welcome, even Supreme Court decisions should not be accepted as legitimate by state governments if such decisions uphold “laws” that clearly would have been rejected by the Constitution’s ratifiers.
Question Authority! Especially When It Comes To Health Care Reform
Our opponents would like nothing more than to distract us from the issue of constitutionality. But by refusing to be redirected, we can retain the high ground and dictate the terms of battle, as it were. This will also help to educate and prepare those who believe in limited government to resist not only this act of federal usurpation, but all such acts.
Thomas Jefferson’s Other Declaration
Most Americans know that Thomas Jefferson was the principal author of “The Declaration of Independence”, the most important of all our founding documents. Yet few of them have even heard of another document that I would say might be the second most important declaration he ever wrote
The Untold History of Nullification: Resisting Slavery
Derek Sherriff on the hidden history of how 19th-century abolitionists used nullification to fight for freedom.
Nullification: It’s Official.
Nullification is not the petitioning of the federal government to start doing or to stop doing anything. Nullification doesn’t depend on any federal law being repealed. Nullification does not require permission from any person or institution outside of one’s own state.
“Race To The Top” is fixed: just say No!
The Obama administration’s “Race To The Top†(RTTT) stimulus grant program should really be called the “Race to Nationalize Educationâ€. Like the Bush administration’s “No Child Left Behind†program, it is nothing but another measure designed to enable the central government to take over control of our local schools and establish a government of occupation in the territory that exists between our children’s ears.
