More to the point, @travisthornton, nullification is a thoroughly invalid concept, as Article VI, Clause 2 ought to clarify. Ref. @taleast

@jstrevino @taleast How should violations of the Oath of Office be handled, then? For military, it's punishable.. What about Congress?

Well, @travisthornton, federal officials are open to all sorts of sanction: impeachment, sanction by the house, electoral loss, etc.

@travisthornton @jstrevino I raised my hand to defend the Constitution, not the government. No matter what they say, they aren't the same.

@jstrevino The supremacy clause actually valididats nullification since all laws not in pursuance of the const have no supremacy

Yes, @travisthornton, Thomas Woods is a marginal crank. There are many PhDs who are cranks. Ref. @taleast

@jstrevino @taleast But what do you dislike about Woods, besides strict Constitutionalism and Austrian economic slant?

You can't tout fraudulent nonsense like nullification, @travisthornton, and proclaim yourself a Constitutionalist. You'd be the opposite.

@jstrevino I'm not talking about nullifying the Constitution. Laws found in violation to the Constitution should be nullified.

@jstrevino All you do is speal petty insults at other people in order to cover up for the fact you can't conjure up an intelligent argument
