Nullification: How to Resist Federal Tyranny in the 21st Century
- Thomas E. Woods Jr


State vs. Federal: The Nullification Movement

Because the Supreme Court has for many years interpreted the Constitution in a manner to further empower the federal government, states are moving to take power back from the feds through a growing and vibrant nullification movement. By Patrick Krey​

Nullification in a Nutshell

The modern-day nullification movement has as its genesis the principle of federalism and the writings of James Madison and Thomas Jefferson, in particularly the famous Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions of 1798, supporting the right of states to nullify unconstitutional federal usurpations.

I love APs title choice.

That "obscure 18th century doctrine" enables AP to make such idiotic statements without ending up on the guillotine. That they seem to miss a point so abundantly lacking in subtlety says nothing good about either their collective intelligence, integrity, or both.

Sheesh.

I know; I am too. That doesn't mean he shouldn't run, IMO.
