Nullify, Repeal, and Vote them out!
Writes Marc Gallagher at Liberty Maven: Opposing the new health care mandate is nullification in its infantile stages. Several state Attorneys General have filed suit on grounds that the health care mandate is unconstitutional. Virginia has passed a law exempting its citizens from the mandate. You won’t hear many people within the debate on the [...]
Supreme Court Gun Decision Won’t Affect NYC
Already, one serious gun control group is HAPPY….you got that?….with the new supreme court ruling. New Yorkers Against Gun Violence (a gun-control group), is pleased with the decision. Says the director: All the other amendments have reasonable restrictions on them. So I actually really like the Heller decision and the McDonald decision because they put [...]

Mike Church Interviews Tom Woods
On his Sirius/XM satellite radio show, Mike talks the dangerous idea of nullification–dangerous to tyranny, that is–with Tom. Listen. Writes Mike: There seems to be a disconnect among “conservatives” between opposing Leviathan as a way of life, a responsibility of republican citizenship, and opposing Leviathan because a tyrant is at its helm. Tom Woods cuts [...]
Supreme Court ruling on firearms…and nullification
I generally take a dim view of gun-control laws, believing they do more harm than good (i.e., making the law-abiding more vulnerable to criminals). That said, today’s decision by the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) in McDonald vs. City of Chicago does not have me rejoicing. The further expansion of the SCOTUS’s 14th [...]
New Book, Nullification, Now Available!
My book Nullification: How to Resist Federal Tyranny in the 21st Century, has been released. It’s going to be a lot harder to get the kind of media for this book that I’ve had for some of my others, so I’d be grateful for the help of friends and supporters in getting the word out. [...]

Former Texas Solicitor General Ted Cruz remarks at the launch of the Texas Public Policy Foundation’s Center for Tenth Amendment Studies.
What the Feds Fear the Most
Today is the official release date for my new book, Nullification: How to Resist Federal Tyranny in the 21st Century. Nullification, as many readers of this site already know, refers to the power of a state to refuse to enforce an unconstitutional federal law. Most Americans have never heard of the idea, or know of [...]
States Can Nullify Unconstitutional Federal Laws!
From last fall, but definitely worth revisiting today!

We’ve got a lot of project launched right now and many more coming soon. Here’s a few additional comments beyond what I wrote about in [...]
The Empowerment Project
“There are some things the federal government should do here in Washington…but there are a lot of things that state and local governments and the people can do for themselves. We want to make sure that we empower people so that takes place.”
Question for Jason Chaffetz
The Salt Lake Tribune is reporting that Jason Chaffetz is working to “overturn action by the D.C. City Council that would allow medical marijuana usage in the nation’s capital.” Here’s what he had to say: “Marijuana is a psychotropic drug classified under Schedule I of the federal Controlled Substances Act as having ‘high potential for [...]
Constitutional Platform or Just the Best that Money can Buy?
Let’s backup a few years. In 1992, people had had enough of the Republican agenda and Democrat Bill Clinton proved to be the candidate that made the most and best sounding promises that resulted in the Best President that money could buy. He also proved to be one of the most immoral presidents. Under Bill [...]
On the Importance of Nullification in Today’s World
Writes at Thomas R. Eddlem at The New American: Nullification is an indispensable book about what could become the most effective means of stopping an out-of-control federal government: nullification. “Nullification” is simply an act by states (and occasionally individuals) to resist unconstitutional federal laws. The term “nullification” was coined by Thomas Jefferson in his 1798 [...]

Supreme Court Nominee Could Coronate Obama
Writes Bruce Fein: …If confirmed by the United States Senate, Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan will crown President Obama with “imperial” constitutional powers. Congress and Federal Courts will wither as checks against his presidential usurpations or abuses whenever war or other national security claims are bugled over Iran, North Korea, Yemen, international terrorism, economic adversity, [...]
Louisiana Passes Health Care Freedom Act
WASHINGTON, June 21 /PRNewswire-USNewswire — Last Friday, June 18, 2010, Louisiana became the first state with a Democrat-controlled legislature to oppose a requirement to purchase health insurance—the centerpiece of President Barack Obama’s health reform agenda. Louisiana House Bill 1474 (HB1474), which passed the Louisiana Senate with strong bipartisan support, will soon head to Gov. Bobby [...]
Courage, Character, Leadership
To act, despite danger or disapproval. Works for me. Taking action in the public arena and stand by it during the onslaught also displays character and leadership. The chance that a politician will show courage is remote. Voter disapproval is death to them. Put that together with a society that has gradually come to accept [...]
States to Congress: Print More Money
Writes Ryan W. McMaken The states (and the local governments) are facing crushing deficits and declines in tax revenues. Unlike the feds, the states can’t simply monetize debt by having the Fed purchase enormous amounts of new debt. But that doesn’t mean the states can’t ask Congress to run up some new debt for them. [...]
Don’t Tread on Me
Here’s the promo teaser for the new film, Don’t Tread on Me: Rise of the Republic. I watched it last week – deciding on whether or not I’ll do a full review of the film at this point.
A Summer Reading Assignment for Politicians
from Paul Munshine, New Jersey Star-Ledger I put up a couple blog posts recently concerning state Sen. Jim Whelan’s ignorant and hypocritical attack on Assemblywoman Allison McHose Littell at a hearing Monday. Whelan – who was a prime sponsor of a bill that was a classic exercise in nullification, the state’s new medical-marijuana law – [...]
Tenth Amendment Task Force Special Order

No State Legislator Left Behind.
Just as Sheriff Mack of Arizona launched a campaign to deliver copies of his book The County Sheriff: America’s Last Hope (see www.sheriffmack.com for more information) to every county sheriff in the United States, I would like to recommend that we launch a similar campaign to deliver copies of Dr. Thomas Woods’s latest book Nullification: [...]
