Nullification Ordered for State Government Officials

A Continuance of Politics as Usual
By SCOTT WONG | 11/4/10 12:44 PM EDT Updated: 11/5/10 8:58 AM EDT Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky conceded that a full repeal of the health care law won’t be possible in the short term but pledged that Republicans would use their new oversight powers in the House to keep pressure on the Obama administration [...]
In Case You Forgot
Those of you who are thinking – “ok, now I can relax, I cast my ballot and we got a bunch of tea party good guys in office” – rest easy and watch the likely next speaker in his passionate support of the constitution: whoops! correction: his passionate support of the destroying the constitution (h/t [...]
The Republicans Are Already At It
They are vowing to put a stop to Obama’s phony Afghanistan withdrawal. This is how elections work. In 2000, Bush wins promising a more humble foreign policy. He expands the warfare state. In 2006, the Democrats win promising a more humble national security policy. They expand the surveillance state.
Not When My Team is in Charge!
Gene Healy knocks it out of the park – again – in his recent post for Cato: Should we worry about big government? For far too many Americans, the answer is “not when my team’s in charge!” Since 2003, Gallup has periodically asked Americans whether the federal government “poses an immediate threat to the rights [...]
John Dvorak and Nullification
John Dvorak writes: “Thanks for the show plug Thomas. “Once we brought the subject up it got a lot of attention and debate. It’s interesting to hear from the befuddled public when confronted by the Nullification history and the 10th Amendment movement. Many begin confrontation with the bogus ‘Federal Law trumps…blah, blah, blah.’ The best [...]
GOP vs the Constitution: What about the DOE?
For those of us who recognize that federal k-12 education spending has been a costly failure, it’s been great to hear some tea party candidates call for the abolition of the U.S. Department of Education. Unfortunately, the party favored by tea party supporters at the moment has no interest in shuttering the DOE. After all, [...]
Mission not Accomplished
The election is over, and the GOP made some big gains in the House, but our mission is far from over. Just as it has always been, I predict it always will be. Now, it is time for the lobbyists to come lurking and tempting the newbies with blank checks. Mark my words. The temptation [...]
What will Ron and Rand Paul do now?
On the David Asman show Wednesday night Ron Paul was asked what plans he and son Rand had for the new term. He said they had talked about entering legislation together in the Senate and the House on the first day. Half joking, Ron Paul said his son suggested legislation to “end the Fed.” I [...]
Chairman Paul?
Ron Paul won easy reelection in the 14th district of Texas with almost 77% of the vote. (His opponent, a police chief, had signs that said, “Tell Dr. No he has to go.” No one took up my suggestion for opposing signs: “Send the cop to the donut shop.” If the Republicans weren’t dishonest, and [...]

H.L. Mencken on the “God” of Democracy
“There’s really no point to voting. If it made any difference, it would probably be illegal.” “Every election is a sort of advance auction sale of stolen goods.” “Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want and deserve to get it good and hard.” “Under democracy one party always devotes its [...]
Glad it’s Over
I’m glad that the elections are finally – FINALLY – over. It’s my view that, as some wise person once said, if elections ever solved anything, they’d be outlawed by our “leaders.” Maybe that’s why those leaders would like to tell us that nullification is “illegal” – because it can actually work. It’s my belief [...]
I Voted to Contain Washington, DC!
It’s time to switch from a policy of regime change to a policy of containment. That policy of containment is called NULLIFICATION!
Arizona Voters Reject Healthcare Mandates
November 2nd was set to be an important day for Arizona voters, and they spoke loud and clear when they rejected healthcare mandates by passing Proposition 106. This amends the Arizona Constitution to protect the “right of Arizonans not to participate in any health care system or plan.” It will also protect Arizonan’s “right to [...]
Oklahoma Voters Reject Health Care Mandates
Voters in Oklahoma today decided that they don’t want a law to require them to buy health insurance, as they voted to approve State Question 756 by a wide margin (64% in favor at the time of this writing). The question was the result of the Oklahoma legislature passing Senate Joint Resolution 59 (SJR59) this [...]
States Use Nov. 2 Propositions to Challenge Obama Agenda
A pretty good report in today’s Newsmax – even recognizing that state marijuana laws are a challenge to the “Obama Agenda.” Here’s an excerpt: Beyond this year’s grueling battle for Congress, citizens streaming to the polls on Tuesday will also decide over 150 state-level propositions, referenda, and ballot initiatives that promise to have a major [...]
Arizona, South Dakota: A Chance to Advance the Nullification Movement
On Election Day, Arizona and South Dakota will vote on initiatives to partially nullify Federal narcotics laws pertaining to the medicinal use of cannabis. These initiatives are important to the residents of both states for many reasons. They offer a re-assertion of state sovereignty and interposition by the state(s) on behalf of patients and their [...]
An Informed Journalist Who Asks Good Questions?
I was on the Matt Lewis Show the other day, a popular podcast based out of AOL’s Politics Daily. Host Matt Lewis asked intelligent questions and gave me time to answer them. Here’s the link. Also of interest: Adam Curry (formerly of MTV) and John Dvorak are digging Nullification on their No Agenda show. Can [...]
Want Freedom? Repeal Pot Prohibition
Here’s what Paul Armentano and Richard Evans have to say about this week’s vote on Prop 19: Here are two little-known fact about Proposition 19, the California marijuana legalization initiative on this November’s ballot. This isn’t the first time California voters have had the opportunity to repeal their state prohibition laws, nor is it the [...]
The end of two flavor political parties
For well more than a century, Americans have had the choice like that in an old general store I used to go to in rural West Virginia with a swinging sign that read, “ice cream, guns and ammo.” The ice cream came in two flavors, vanilla and chocolate. That has been our choice in political [...]
