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.”
Prop 19 and Delegated Powers
I was glad to have the opportunity to discuss something that rarely comes up in political debate these days, how the constitution actually applies. This time, California marijuana, prop 19, in the Huffington Post. Here’s how I was quoted: “The federal government is only authorized to exercise those powers that ‘We the People’ delegated to [...]

Worried About Anarcho-Capitalism
Famed liberal journo Joe Conason is worried about the increasing influence of Rothbardian “anarcho-capitalism” and the related “Austrian school of economics.” As well he should be. It is these radical ideas–undistorted by the journos–that enthrall the young, and indeed any thinking person. We all know there is something desperately wrong–morally and economically–with the US empire [...]

NY Times Alarmed: Tea Party Reading Unapproved Texts
Thanks to Bud Bronstein for this piece by Kate Zernike from the NY Times, “Movement of the Moment Looks to Long-Ago Texts.” Catch the ideological presentism. Instead of just reading the latest approved tomes and today’s issue of the Times, people are learning from “obscure” old books by dead people. The Tea Party “has resurrected once-obscure [...]

Rejoice: Rick Sanchez Will Tell Us What To Think
Isn’t that a relief? In his latest instruction to the masses, CNN’s Rick Sanchez calls “states’ rights” a “racist” term.

Are the Editors of the Washington Times Reading TAC?
A quick glance at their recent op-ed – States tell Obama to Take a Hike – it seems pretty obvious that they’re at least getting the message. Here’s an excerpt: Arizona, Georgia, Idaho, Louisiana, Missouri and Virginia have opted out of an even larger slice of Obamacare by rejecting the health coverage mandate. The anti-Obamacare [...]

Taking America back
I rarely find anything worth my time in the mainstream press, but this letter to the editor in the Washington Times is not just good, but worthy of repetition. I hope that more people will follow James Vetter’s example, and write their own paper with a similar sentiment. Here’s an excerpt: The first order of [...]

How to Out-Left the Left
A couple of days ago I appeared on Wisconsin Public Radio to discuss Nullification, my new book. Although the conversation was probably more civil than what would have unfolded had I been a leftist on many right-wing programs, I had my share of shocked and appalled callers. I think I handled them pretty well. WPR wrote to [...]
