We have to make good arguments as to why we can interpose. That is the key because it is virtually impossible to ignore a solid argument forever.

Just because some may have attempted to interpose against federal mandates deemed unconstitutional and failed in the past, it is still a legitimate action for states to take. This is why education is the key, IMO. In today's climate, general rage against the feds is so widespread, people are thrilled to hear about this latent form of protest against blatant abuses of power. Protests against socialistic government-creep don't carry the kinds of ambivalence that racism and civil rights issues tend to invoke so I think nullification has a much better chance of success today.

Even if it was used for a bad purpose by some people the ability to legally arrest any law enforcement official still exist. That power still belongs to the law enforcement people in any jurisdiction.
