A Pro-Nullification President?

  • Share on Tumblr

Gary Johnson, who spoke at Nullify Now! tour stops in both Orlando and Phoenix, has just announced his candidacy for president. And, in an interview with the radical anti-nullification revisionists at ThinkProgress, Johnson made clear his support for the movement around the country.

Watch it

KEYES: I know a lot of states have been taking up these nullification bills.

JOHNSON: Yeah, which is terrific. Which is just terrific. I just think the whole notion, that’s another way to drive this exact point.

KEYES: I take it you’re in favor of this nullification movement?

JOHNSON: Yes, yes.

KEYES: I know a lot of critics have said, “well, you know, it’s questionably constitutional.” What would you say to those critics?

JOHNSON: I think that is a criticism, but that that initiative, that these initiatives are getting launched, nullification is getting launched. I think people become more aware as a result of the nullification movement and the rights that states do have. This is really a formula, and it just gets back to the Constitution. It really is a formula for righting all our wrongs.

Amongst the many articles that TAC has on the subject of nullification, Tom Woods and I respond to the standard objections and point out the hypocrisy of pseudo-reporting from the likes of ThinkProgress and MSNBC.

Am I the only one who craves a plain president? Gary is plain but that is GOOD because so many president seem to think they must be elevated to almost God-like status aka Obama. Plain presidents speak plainly without all the fancy rhetoric that is designed to manipulate the people into going along with what they want which would make a plain president a refreshing change.

Gary Johnson is the most pro-liberty candidate we have right now and he'll get my vote.

Wish he would have said that an unconstitutional law is null and void. Nullification is not about subverting the Constitution or treading on the valid supremacy of the federal government, but the rightful remedy to federal usurpation.
