In this episode of Thoughts from Maharrey Head I talk about presidential executive orders and the constitutional limits of executive power. Earlier this week, President Obama issued his promised executive orders relating to firearms. Many Democrats and gun control advocates praised the president for “taking action when Congress won’t.” Meanwhile, Republicans hammered Obama for exceeding…
Going to the federal government to limit the power of the federal government doesn’t work. “You’re going to need something other than the federal government itself to do the limiting” – Tom Woods
In Montana, citizens rendered a marijuana law unenforceable through jury nullification. Recently, a man was arrested for possessing a small amount of marijuana, but the judge could not find one single person willing to sit on a jury and convict him.

Today, I was a guest on the Tom Woods show to discuss our recently-released “State of the Nullification Movement Report.” Here’s what Tom had to say: It’s under the radar, but there’s been more state-level pushback against the federal government this year than at any time since the creation of the Tenth Amendment Center. Pushing…
I recently spoke with ‘The Dignitary’ Jacob Isbell about the constitutionality of federal gun control legislation. A couple of noteworthy takeaways: Not only does the Constitution NOT give the feds the power to regulate or restrict firearms, the 2nd Amendment expressly prohibits them from doing so! By passing the 2nd Amendment Preservation Act, state legislatures…
