Answering Objections to Nullification
On May 17th, Arizona Tea Party activist, Steve Weston, was interviewed on a Blog Talk Radio show called, Crossroads with Van. I hope you will check out the show and tune in often! This particular interview introduced the topic of state nullification and addressed the question of whether its use is constitutional or not. I wanted [...]
He’s Not Your Commander In Chief, Dennis Miller!
While watching The O’Reilly Factor on Fox News recently, I heard Dennis Miller say to Bill O’Reilly that President Obama is “my commander in chief.” Ummm…no he’s not Dennis. Now someone might accuse me of being hypercritical, but I assure you, I’m not trying to slam Dennis Miller. However, his statement really bothers me and it should concern [...]
Meet the Founding Fathers of Constitutional Subversion
Before the ink used to draft the new Constitution was even dry, the plot subvert it had already been hatched…Dr. Thomas DiLorenzo introduces you to the the primary conspirators.
Dan Casey Betrays His Ignorance While Ranting About Tenthers’ “Flawed” Arguments
Casey’s central argument against what he views as our misreading of the Constitution, betrays both his ignorance of the history surronding the Constitution and the rules of legal interpretation that were understood very well by the those who framed and ratified it. Both James Madison (the author of the amendment Casey uses to make his case), and [...]
Splitting Arizona: Support grows for 51st state
Outraged over efforts in the Arizona State Legislature to nullify unconstitutional federal commands and prohibitions, a growing number of Pima County residents and even a few of their state legislators are proposing that they be permitted to break away from the rest of Arizona in order to form their own state. If they are eventually [...]
Bill Would Give Arizona Legislative Committee Power To Nullify Unconstitutional Federal “Laws”
“SB 1433 would create an Arizona legislative committee that would have the power to nullify any federal law they find unconstitutional. Opponents say [not surprisingly] the state would be exceeding its powers in creating such a committee.”
Are You Gonna Bark All Day, Little Doggie? Or Are You Gonna Bite?
Less than a year ago, I invited an outspoken critic of state nullification, State Senator Jim Whelan of New Jersey, to debate New York Times best selling author, Thomas E.Woods Jr. on my Blog Talk Radio show. Tom Woods was ready and willing, but not surprisingly, even after attempting to reach Sen. Whelan by phone [...]
Interposition at San Francisco International Airport
Incoming DA of San Mateo County Steve Wagstaffe said his office will prosecute TSA employees if they engage in lewd and lascivious behavior while frisking passengers at the San Francisco International Airport.
Thank a Veteran Today by Introducing Them to Oath Keepers!
Oath Keepers simply recognize that there are certain orders we would NOT obey because we will consider them unconstitutional (and thus unlawful) and immoral violations of the natural rights of the people. Such orders would be acts of war against the American people by their own government, and thus acts of treason. We will not make war against our own people. We will not commit treason. We will defend the Republic.
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!
Minnesota “Dreaming”
Steve Timmer, the attorney who posted the video embedded below on YouTube, mocks Tenthers, like Sue Jeffers, talk radio host and candidate for Minnesota State Senate, Krysia Weidell, for advocating nullification. Yet he fails to offer a single convincing argument against nullification. He instead attempts to abuse them, rather than refute them. He loosely paraphrases Andrew Jackson, saying [...]
The Political Inquisition Begins
If this article doesn’t frighten you, it’s probably because you aren’t doing anything that really threatens to limit big government. As I read this article, a sinking feeling started to develop in the pit of my stomach. Is this what happens when patriotic citizens and state legislators begin to actually challenge entrenched RINOs and upset [...]
G Gordon Liddy: “Nullification is a Battle Plan”
G. Gordon Liddy to all Tea Party members: “There is a book I want you to run out and buy, and read and get all your friends to read..This one is a battle plan in my view..It’s kind of the answer to our prayers.” This is perhaps one of the best radio interviews I’ve heard [...]
Nullification makes a comeback—and not just on the Right.
This article by Jeff Taylor, which recently appeared in The American Conservative, is one of the most well written articles on the subject of nullification I have come across in a while. Although I was a little disappointed that he failed to use Arizona’s Health Care Freedom Amendment, (which will be voted on by the [...]
Resisting the Fugitive Slave Act
Whenever the mainstream media finally decides it can’t ignore the efforts of today’s “Tenthers” to use the tools of state level nullification and interposition, their attempts to associate them with slavery, Jim Crow and segregation are as predictable as the sun rising in the East. The fact is that nullification and interposition were never used [...]
Arizona Has Spoken: Cease and Desist!
On April 22, 2010 the people of Arizona re-asserted their sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment. Even though they have already passed legislation to nullify a number of unconstitutional federal laws, the legislature of Arizona felt that it was necessary and proper to serve notice and demand to the federal government to immediately cease and desist [...]
The Arizona Firearms Freedom Act Becomes Law
On Monday Arizona made a bold move to check unlimited federal power. Arizona Governor Jan Brewer signed the Arizona Firearms Freedom Act (HB 2307) into law, making Arizona the sixth state to pass this type of historic Tenth Amendment legislation. However, this was hardly Arizona’s first act of defiance against federal overreach. Last year, the [...]
Arizona Firearms Freedom Act Passes Both Houses!
HB 2307, The Arizona Firearms Freedom Act, has just passed the senate with a vote of 22-8! The proposed legislation confronts the position taken by most members of Congress that the “Commerce Clause”, found in Article I, Section 8, paragraph 3 of the Constitution, gives them nearly unlimited power to regulate anything which even remotely [...]
Arizona Firearms Freedom Act Passes the House!
The Ayes have it: AYES: 35 NAYS: 23 NOT VOTING: 2 The first reading already took place in the Arizona Senate on the February 25th. The proposed legislation confronts the position taken by most members of Congress that the “Commerce Clause”, found in Article I, Section 8, paragraph 3 of the Constitution, gives them nearly [...]
Arizona House and Senate Consider Firearms Freedom Act
Even as Senate Bill 1098, known as the Arizona Firearms Freedom Act, was assigned to the Judiciary Committee on Tuesday, an almost identical Firearms Freedom bill was introduced in the House and assigned the number HB2307. The proposed legislation confronts the position taken by most members of Congress that the “Commerce Clause”, found in Article [...]
