On March 6, I testified before the Ohio House Committee on Federalism on the Tenth Amendment and how states can push back against overreaching federal authority.
During my testimony, I covered the limited nature of the federal government, the meaning and purpose of the Tenth Amendment, nullification, and how to practically nullify federal acts through the anti-commandeering doctrine.
My presentation lasted 25 minutes. The rest of my time before the committee involved a very spirited question and answer session.
Thanks to Rep. John Becker for inviting me to appear before his committee.
