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 cases ) if he could name an activity or program that, in his view, would fall outside the bounds of what the Constitution authorized the federal government to do. He could not.
This contempt for constitutional limitations on the federal government is bipartisan and long-standing. Unsurprisingly, when the Constitution is thought of not as the strict limitation on government that its original supporters sold it as, but as something so completely broad as almost to defy limitation, government will continue to grow. Some federal activities have begun to alarm even those who have historically cheered government growth as a progressive force. Yet nothing has been able to stop it. Even Ronald Reagan, for all his charisma and rhetorical prowess, was able only to slow the growth of certain categories of federal spending.

He describes how the federal government is too over-reaching, not leaving enough room for states to decide on matters like healthcare and immigration. Guest: Thomas Woods, Jr., Senior fellow, Ludwig von Mises Institute. Author, “Nullification: How To Resist Federal Tyranny in the 21st Century.”

Ask yourself these questions:
What can be done when the Federal Government passes Unconstitutional Laws?
Even more importantly, what can be done when the Federal Government acts as if it is its own Judge and Jury on whether the laws it passes are Legal and Valid?
Are We The People Powerless?
The answer is NO; the Principle of Nullification – where States and Citizens declare an obviously Unconstitutional Law NULL AND VOID is a Basic Principle of how America was founded.
Find out how Nullification **Which Was Used AGAINST Slavery and ON BEHALF OF Black Americans**…. Is Being Used Today to Stem the Tide of the Constant Encroachment of the Federal Government and, most importantly, How it will – again – Make America Stronger.
