Today is the 180th day the GOP has failed to repeal Obamacare. But while Washington D.C. isn’t doing a thing to stand up for the Constitution, we’re continuing to chalk up wins in the state legislatures across the country. In this week’s episode of Tenther Tuesday, Michael Boldin and Mike Maharrey talk about bills moving forward…
I’m not saying there’s no way Senate Republicans can redeem their bill. I have offered ideas that might. But at this point, the Cruz amendment does not redeem or even add to the bill.
I was recently a guest on the Robert Scott Bell show to talk about a big win for food sovereignty in Maine. During the interview, we discussed how local action can actually impede big federal agencies like the FDA. LISTEN: Last month, Maine Gov. Paul LePage signed a bill into law that gives local governments…

These measures further nullify the federal prohibition on cannabis in practice in the state. Rep. Eric Schleien (R-Hillsborough) sponsored House Bill 157 (HB157) and House Bill 160 (HB160).

Anyone who has the audacity to bring up nullification in a debate with friends and foes alike has probably heard this before. “Nullification is lawlessness!” That is not what the founding generation thought.
