Contempt for Constitutional Limitations on the Federal Government
The following is from Tom Woods fabulous book: Nullification: How to Resist Federal Tyranny in the 21st Century. “The controversy over health care reflects a much broader and deeper constitutional void in American life. Some fifteen years ago, a Supreme Court Justice asked the United States Solicitor General ( the government’s lawyer for Supreme Court [...]
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 [...]
Nullification: Jefferson’s Remedy
“Nullification is Jefferson’s remedy for a government that acts as if it has no limits. It’s an answer to the question – what do you do when the federal government exceeds its constitutional powers.” See Tom in person in Ft Worth and Orlando. See Jack in person in Chattanooga – reserve your seats today! Tom [...]
Local interposition
Please thank this man! St. Tammany Parish President Kevin Davis shows Gov. Jindal and a host of other state and local officials how the Principals of ’98 (interposition) can be implemented if only they can find the courage to challenge the perceived omnipotence of the federal government. “Simmering distrust on the oil-coated Louisiana coast boiled [...]

Left-Liberal Columnist: Eek, Nullification!
Much as I’d like to think some people on the Left might reject knee-jerk nationalism, articles like this one are all too typical. Let me paraphrase: nullification (which the poor guy can’t even define) and rebellion are wicked. Cut it out. Obey your overlords. You are born to be ruled. And forget that “question authority” thing [...]

On the Importance of Nullification in Today’s World
Writes at Thomas R. Eddlem at The New American: Nullification is an indispensable book about what could become the most effective means of stopping an out-of-control federal government: nullification. “Nullification” is simply an act by states (and occasionally individuals) to resist unconstitutional federal laws. The term “nullification” was coined by Thomas Jefferson in his 1798 [...]
A Summer Reading Assignment for Politicians
from Paul Munshine, New Jersey Star-Ledger I put up a couple blog posts recently concerning state Sen. Jim Whelan’s ignorant and hypocritical attack on Assemblywoman Allison McHose Littell at a hearing Monday. Whelan – who was a prime sponsor of a bill that was a classic exercise in nullification, the state’s new medical-marijuana law – [...]

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 [...]

Rachel Maddow’s Blog Targets VA Tenthers
I guess we should be pleased; Rachel Maddow’s blog reads the Virginia Tenth Amendment Center. It’s true, her blog linked to a picture we posted from the January 18th Lobby Day. Of course, it was done in the context of describing us tenthers as “out-there,” but when you’re as unappreciated as the Constitution is these days, any press is good press. Later, [...]

For three days last week, on the third floor of the Francis Marion Hotel in downtown Charleston, SC, a group of scholars have been meeting to discuss the history of nullification and secession in American law and politics, and the continued relevance of those concepts today.

Is Nullification in the Air?
On FreedomWatch, Andrew Napolitano and Lew Rockwell talk about the principles of Nullification, Secession and Interposition. Watch it: If the federal government were trying to do something within a state that was unconstitutional, the state government could say – you have no jurisdiction to do something illegal within our state. Nullification has a long history [...]
Reject Chuck Schumer’s “Compromise”
In the health care saga’s latest twist, New York Senator, Chuck Schumer, has proposed a solution that would allow states to “opt out” of the public option, should there be one included with the final bill. Talking Points Memo reports: We’re chasing the ball on a new idea (is it a trial balloon? is it [...]
