Nullification is the Rightful Remedy
If Nullification was good enough for Thomas Jefferson, it’s good enough for us.
Some thoughts on privacy, facial recognition and the FBI
I just thinking out loud here, but some recent developments have me seeing things differently, connecting the dots in a new way. Please pardon this run-on sentence: With Facebook sharing everything with the NSA/FBI, and with the FBI now launching a massive facial recognition program going live for about 10% of the US population, and…
Blueprint for Sucess: Abolitionist Nullifiers
On May 21, 1855, a very important anti-slavery nullification law was signed into law in Massachusetts. Although mainstream history books typically glossed this important bill, it remains prescient in today’s world where federal overreach is at an all-time high. It is more important than ever to follow in the heroic footsteps of Massachusetts and other northern…
Rachel Maddow Cheers Nullification?
It’s no secret that for years now the popular media personality Rachel Maddow has railed against nullification. Consistent with her partisan Democrat disposition she fear-mongered the return of institutional racism, secession and civil war whenever she approached the subject. Her conclusion was that nullification is a hysterical, reactionary, right-wing radicalism that has no place in modern…
Obamacare’s ‘Success’ is the Worst Nightmare for American Families

Unconstitutional acts are not law
Even the “big government” guy of the founding generation – Alexander Hamilton – agreed: “There is no position which depends on clearer principles, than that every act of a delegated authority contrary to the tenor of the commission under which it is exercised, is void. No legislative act, therefore, contrary to the constitution, can be…
Tennessee legislature passes bill to effectively nullify hemp ban
Today, the Tennessee state senate gave final approval to a bill which some supporters consider the strongest pro-hemp legislation in the country. After a 28-0 vote, the bill will now go to Gov. Bill Haslam's desk for a signature. With the house having approved the bill by a vote of 88-5, both chambers have a strong veto-proof majority.
Insistance on Enforcing ‘Every Law’ Undermines the Constitution
Republicans position themselves as the party of the Constitution and limited government. But like the Democrats they constantly criticize, Republicans exercise a great deal of discretion in the application of their constitutional fidelity. Last weekend, discretion took center stage as Republican lawmakers grilled Attorney General Eric Holder on his enforcement of federal law, specifically marijuana…
