Like
University last December, Congressman Ron Paul mentioned one thing that might come about as the result of the federal government habitually ignoring the Constitution: Nullification (http://www.tenthamendmentcenter.com/the-10th-amendment-movement/) . About five minutes into the video segment which youll find below, he said, Theres not much attention paid to the Constitution in Washington. Theres not much attention paid to it by our executive branch of government. And we dont get much protection from our courts. So one thing that might finally happen from this if the people finally feel so frustrated that they cant get the results out of Washington Theyre going to start thinking about options. They might start thinking about nullification and a few things like that.

As someone who attended that rally and was doing my best to represent my states chapter (http://arizona.tenthamendmentcenter.com/) of The Tenth Amendment Center
(http://www.tenthamendmentcenter.com/) , I know I cheered very loudly and was very pleased when

the rest of the crowd applauded enthusiastically. For anyone who is unfamiliar with the concept of state nullification, it was the idea expressed by then sitting vice president, Thomas Jefferson, when he authored what came to be called the Kentucky Resolutions of 1798 (http://www.tenthamendmentcenter.com/kentucky-resolutions-of1798/) . The resolutions made the case that the federal government is a creature of the states and that states have the authority to judge the constitutionality of the federal governments laws and decrees. He also argued that states should refuse to enforce laws which they deemed unconstitutional.

James Madison wrote a similar resolution for Virginia

(http://www.tenthamendmentcenter.com/virginia-resolution-of-1798/) that same year, in which he
State *
asserted that whenever the federal government exceeds its constitutional limits and begins to oppress the citizens of a state, that states legislature is duty bound to interpose its power to prevent the federal government from victimizing its people. Very similar to Jeffersons concept of nullification, Madisons doctrine of interposition differed in some small but important ways. These two documents together came to be known as The Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions (or Resolves), of 1798. Both were written in response to the dreaded Alien and Sedition Acts, and the phrase, Principles of 98 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principles_of_'98) became shorthand for nullification and / or interposition. Over time, The Principles of 98 would be invoked by many other states, many times for a variety of issues (http://www.tenthamendmentcenter.com/2009/03/04/thestates-rights-tradition-nobody-knows/) . Getting back to Ron Pauls speech in December at ASU, Congressman Paul qualified his prediction about the revival of nullification by saying the following:

But my suspicion is that there will never be official nullification or secession, but if the [federal] government continues to fail, and they cant deliver anything..checks bounce..that we will be forced to take care of ourselves. And we will be forced to almost ignore everything they do.

I think its a great idea. It was never really successful in our history. But I think its going to grow in importance. And I think its going to grow because the government, the federal government will be seen as inept and ineffective. And I think itll almost be de facto in the sense that the states will eventually just ignore some of the mandates.
Tenther Radio Episode #60: Red Team vs Blue Team Nonsense

(http://radio.tenthamendmentcenter.com/2012/08/tenther -radio-episode-60-red-team-vs-blue-team-nonsense/)
Here I would like to pause for a moment and point out that I am not usually in the business of disagreeing with Congressman Ron Paul. I would hardly need one hand to count the number of times that I have actually disagreed with him on any issue of real substance. I am a great admirer and supporter of Congressman Paul, who is undoubtedly very supportive of the idea of state nullification, even if he has doubted its efficacy in the past. However, in spite of all this, I would like to make two observations. First, nullification has, in fact, been somewhat successful in the past
(http://www.tenthamendmentcenter.com/2010/01/08/resistance-is-not-futile-forgotten-lessons-from-thenullification-crisis/) and more recently (http://www.tenthamendmentcenter.com/nullification/real-id/)
as well. Second, as President Obama loves to say, Let me be clear: Official nullification has ALREADY HAPPENED. Before I explain why official nullification has already happened, let me briefly give some examples of what nullification is NOT. Nullification is not secession or insurrection, but neither is it unconditional or unlimited submission. Nullification is not something that requires any decision, statement or action from any branch of the federal government. Nullification is not the result of obtaining a favorable court ruling. Nullification is not the petitioning of the federal government to start doing or to stop doing anything. Nullification doesnt depend on any federal law being repealed. Nullification does not require permission from any person or institution outside of ones own state. So just what IS official nullification you might be asking? Nullification begins with a decision made in your state legislature to resist a federal law deemed to be unconstitutional. It usually involves a bill, which is passed by both houses and is signed by your governor. In some cases, it might be approved by the voters of your state directly, in a referendum. It may change your states statutory law or it might even amend your state constitution. It is a refusal on the part of your state government to cooperate with, or enforce any federal law it deems to be unconstitutional.

Support the Tenth Amendment Center! ***JOIN US HERE*** (http://store.tenthamendmentcenter.com/category-s/39.htm) amending the US Constitution. It cannot be lawfully abolished by an executive overruled by the Supreme Court. It is the people of a state asserting their constitutional rights by acting as a political society in their highest sovereign capacity. It is the moderate, middle way that wisely avoids harsh remedies like secession on the one hand and slavish, unlimited submission on the other. It is the constitutional remedy for unconstitutional federal laws. With the exception of a Constitutional amendment, the federal government cannot oppose (except perhaps rhetorically), a states decision to nullify an unconstitutional federal law without resorting to extra-legal measures. But such measures would more than likely backfire, since most Americans still affirm that might does not make right. There is no question as to whether or when official nullification will happen: It has ALREADY HAPPENED. In fact, not only has it happened recently, it has been a success! Perhaps this is why the federal government hopes you will never hear about it. According to the Tenth Amendment Center:
25 states over the past 2 years have passed resolutions and binding laws denouncing and refusing to implement the Bush-era law [REAL ID Act]..While the law is still on the books in D.C., its implementation has been delayed numerous times in response to this massive state resistance, and in practice, is virtually null and void.
But thats not all; another example of official nullification has occurred in the form of an unlikely states rights ally (http://blog.tenthamendmentcenter.com/2010/01/an-unlikely-states-rights-allymedical-marijuana/) : Medical marijuana. There was a time when the federal government took the Constitution seriously enough that Congress did what is required in order to enact a nationwide ban on a substance. Even though the experiment would eventually be seen by most Americans as a mistake and a failure, the 18th Amendment was passed and the era known as Prohibition began. Four years later, it was repealed. When it came to marijuana prohibition, however, the feds had another trick up their sleeve. All three branches of the federal government would agree on a very novel, liberal interpretation of the commerce clause which would allow them to regulate virtually any substance, including marijuana, even though theres supposedly no legal commerce in the plant. Since that time, the federal government has managed to claim, with a straight face, as it were, that a plant grown in your back yard, never sold, and never leaving your property, is somehow able to be completely banned by the federal government under the interstate commerce clause. The only problem with their claim is that the states just arent buying it. Fourteen states have actively refused to comply with federal laws on marijuana, and it looks as if six more are about to join the effort. In a recent blog post (http://blog.tenthamendmentcenter.com/2010/01/an-unlikely-states-rights-ally-medical-marijuana/) , Mark Kreslins observes:
..medical marijuana now poses a real threat to the enforcement power of the Federal Government. With state after state defying Washington DC over this issue..Washington DC has a choice to make; enforce their laws based on a very liberal interpretation of the Commerce Clause by sending thousands of DEA agents into all fifty statesorlook the other way. Thus far, theyve chosen to look the other way for if they create the appearance of a Federal takeover of police powers in the States, they will fully expose their extra-constitutional behavior and provoke a direct confrontation with the States who will use the 10th Amendment (hopefully) to defend their prerogatives.
Whatever your view may be regarding marijunana use, medical or otherwise, one thing is apparent: Official nullification has happened, and it works! Washington will have to get used to it. What remains to be seen, however, is whether in addition to officially nullifying unconstitutional federal laws, state governments will be willing to use their power to officially interpose themselves between agents of the federal government and the people of their state. In the unlikely event that one or more branches of the federal government decides to take extra-legal measures to punish residents of a state for exercising their constitutional rights in defiance of unconstitutional federal laws, will that states government have the courage to hamper or even neutralize such extra-legal measures? There are a whole host of peaceful actions that a state government can adopt if that day comes or appears to be just over the horizon. These measures range from county sheriffs requiring that federal agents receive written permission (http://www.tenthamendmentcenter.com/nullification/sheriffs-first-legislation/) from the sheriff before acting in their county, to setting up a Federal Tax escrow account
(http://www.tenthamendmentcenter.com/2010/01/18/resistdc-the-federal-tax-funds-act/) , which could

Besides state interposition, the other thing Washington would have to consider, is whether enough of their agents would actually obey orders to punish people for exercising their constitutional rights. There is a significant chance that enough of them would either publicly or privately decide in advance to ignore such orders (http://oathkeepers.org/oath/2009/03/03/declaration-of-orders-we-willnot-obey/) . As the probability of this increases, it becomes more likely that Washington will not risk overplaying its hand. The reality is that Washington just doesnt have the manpower to enforce all their unconstitutional laws if enough states choose to defy them. Of course, it all depends on the people of the several states: ordinary people like you and I. Although Ive discovered that there are more elected representatives at the state level who are committed to acting in a courageous and principled manner (http://pledge.tenthamendmentcenter.com) than I ever dared hope, most of their peers lack such a brave commitment. Most of them will stick their head in the sand or sit on the fence until they determine which way the wind is blowing. And so its our opinion, not the opinion of the American people in aggregate, but our opinion as citizens of our respective states, that will influence the decision of our state representatives to either stand tall or to kneel down and knuckle under. But do you even know the men and women who represent you? Im not talking about those who represent you in Washington, but rather in Phoenix, Salem, Sacramento, Salt Lake City, Denver, Austin, Oklahoma City, Tallahassee, Atlanta, Nashville, Richmond, Harrisburg, Indianapolis, Columbus and Springfield.

I'm sorry for playing the devil's advocate concerning nullification, but please consider the following. Given that citizens are no longer teaching federal or state constitutions to their children and are thus sheep waiting to be slaughtered, what's to stop activist state lawmakers and judges from leading the people astray as much as corrupt federal politicians are doing now? In fact, while I hope that voters vote state sovereignty in the 2010 midterm elections, helping to destroy the phony powers now wrongly associated with the corrupt federal government, I'm not stupid enough to think that the state governments are any more determined to protect their citizens than the feds are; consider that the five bluest states are the leaders in reforming the electoral college, for example. The bottom line is that citizens need to keep their eyes on federal and state governments, in fact, as much as they need to keep their eyes on any two-year-olds. Also, if I had my way, the states would implement the following. Given that driving students, for example, are expected to pass a series of tests before actually being issued a driver's license, I think that prospective voters should likewise be required to pass federal and state constitution tests before being able to vote. In fact, since the Constitution doesn't prohibit states from prohibiting citizens from voting on the basis of ignorance of basic constitutional law, why don't the states implement such tests? Finally, I think that we need federal and state recall laws so that voters can give the boot to corrupt lawmakers and judges who get into the system.

I pass this on wherever I can, it's really all about money - or theft ... SOME NOTES ON THE HISTORY OF MONEY Most of this is probably deliberately offered if one just looks around a bit, so people like me can pretend we have connected some dots. And there is also nothing here about the role of Switzerland in the years under scrutiny. Tom Dennen, author of 'Grand Theft, Planet or Heidi's Free Bar & Grill' - (free on the Internet). "Apocalypse" is a Greek word meaning "the lifting of the veil between you and God," (or Knowledge or Reality). "The modern banking system manufactures money out of nothing. The process is perhaps the most astounding piece of sleight of hand that was ever invented. Banking was conceived in inequity and born in sin . . . . Bankers own the earth. Take it away from them but leave them the power to create money, and, with a flick of a pen, they will create enough money to buy it back again. . . . Take this great power away from them and all great fortunes like mine will disappear, for then this would be a better and happier world to live in. . . . But, if you want to continue to be the slaves of bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, then let bankers continue to create money and control credit. " - Sir Josiah Stamp, director of the Bank of England and the second richest man in Britain in the 1920s, speaking at the University of Texas in 1927. In a dark time, the eye begins to see, Theodore Roethke. CAPITALISM IS A SYSTEM THROUGH WHICH WEALTH IS REGULARLY TRANSFERED (STOLEN) FROM THOSE WHO CREATE IT TO THOSE WHO ARE ALREADY WEALTHY, WHILE THOSE WHO CREATE IT ARE KEPT UNAWARE OF THE THEFT. "All wealth is created by work." - Adam Smith.

Limited Time. people every day how the 'matrix' - Center! ***JOIN US HERE*** (http://store.tenthamendmentcenter.com/category-s/39.htm) and how the Internet is the the leaks are hopefully out of control. Since the early goldsmiths discovered fractional (reserve) banking, (created money out of thin air) and introduced predatory lending, they have been thrown out of every courntry they set up in, after which those countries returned to resource-based economies and went through several decades of economic recovery. Until the sixteenth century, in Holland. Then and there, when the goldsmiths were discovered plying their usurious debt / lending system, the already wealthy government and merchant classes simply joined them in the first full "collusion among corporatocracy, authoritarian government, controlled media and education." - Fascism. (Global Research). Add bankers to that conspiracy and you have the recipe for the last three hundred years of fiscal theft through market manipulation by 'The Establishment', The 'Elite', the 'Illuminati' or the "Rothschild Family', take your pick, but once government was in on the scam, the wealth that the lower and middle classes created by work was harvested every fifty years or so. Holland was, I believe, the site of the first experiment in money market manipulation by this collusion of classes. 'Tulip Mania' is regarded as seriously silly season stuff among some debunkers, but which today is also a generic for an 'out-of-control' Bull Market. The thing is, it was for keeps. 'Tulip Mania' is a controlled boom situation; controlled by those who run the Great Wealth Shift every generation, starting with the South Sea Bubble crash in 1720. This set of conclusions is largely gathered from a monetary history according to James Dale Davidson and William Rees-Mogg: Every fifty years or so since the South Sea Crash, financial markets have peaked - and exactly nine years later, crashed - followed by a depression during which, bracketed by expensive wars, vast amounts of properties have been foreclosed and the 'masters' transfered huge amounts of the wealth accumulated by the working class - "all wealth is created by work" (Adam Smith) - who were left to starve. Just like today. THE SHIFT IN WORLD ECONOMIC PREDOMINANCE "All long-term credit cycles end with asset crashes in the markets of the leading economy. Measuring from crash to crash the dates of the modern credit cycles are as follows:"(starting with the South Sea Bubble) Span Duration 1720 - 1772 52 years 1772 - 1825 53 years 1825 - 1873 48 years 1873 - 1929 56 years 1929 - 1990 61 years "The crashes and resulting depressions appear to be less intense and traumatic when the end of the cycle does not coincide with a shift in world economic predominance." - The Great Reckoning, James Dale Davidson & William Rees-Mogg, 1993. Recent benchmarks are Common Cause: 1907 Financial Panic 1913 The privately-owned American Federal Reserve (FED) System Created 1929 The Great Depression - Nice work, FED 1933 Theodore Roosevelt's Executive Order 6102 outlaws owning gold 1934 Gold Reserve Act freezes gold at $35 per ounce 1971 United States abandons gold standard 1974 U.S. citizens allowed to own gold 2009 Gold exceeds $1100 per ounce The depression following the 1990 crash is fully upon us and the consequences are global because we are in the middle of the biggest shift in world economic predominance. We will not see the end of it for a long while - all we will see are futile reports of the transfer of huge amounts of money to the banking cartels and hear their stories of 'green shoots' and 'recovery'. Until people are back to work there is no recovery. The essence of fiscal control is not race, religion or nationality but just a passion for control over other humans. SOVEREIGN MONEY Both Lincoln and Kennedy were assassinated after introducing sovereign currencies, which were quickly removed from circulation after the killings. What happened to Schwartzenegger's IOUs? They were de facto sovereign currency paid back on maturity by the state at a 3.75% interest. (It took the entire western world including Russia, incidentally, to crush Hitler who had also introduced sovereign money against the web of banking debt). When the directors of the Bank of England asked what was responsible for the booming economy of the young American colonies, Benjamin Franklin explained that the colonial

It is issue it in proper proportion to make the goods pass easily from the producers to the consumers. In this manner, creating ourselves our own paper money, we control its purchasing power and we have no interest to pay to no one. You see, a legitimate government can both spend and lend money into circulation, while banks can only lend significant amounts of their promissory bank notes, for they can neither give away nor spend but a tiny fraction of the money the people need. "Thus, when your bankers here in England place money in circulation, there is always a debt principal to be returned and usury to be paid. The result is that you have always too little credit in circulation to give the workers full employment. You do not have too many workers, you have too little money in circulation, and that which circulates, all bears the endless burden of unpayable debt and usury."

Earl Long of Louisiana, "What can we do? The Feds have got the Bomb now." But there IS a way to revive the 10th Amendment, and that is to repeal the 17th Amendment. Many of today's constitutional conservatives are unaware that federalism (and the 10th Amendment) were effectively REPEALED in 1913, with the ratification of the 17th Amendment. That Amendment, which changed how US Senators are chosen, eliminated the Constitutional's only STRUCTURAL bulwark in support of federalism. Before 1913, Senators were chosen by state legislatures. Since the Amendment, they have been chosen by the people, in the same manner as at-large House members. It stands to reason that, since unlimited nature of today's federal government has a STRUCTURAL cause, only a STRUCTURAL reform can resurrect federalism and re-limit the federal government. The current rush of enthusiasm for nullification is an attempt to supply this STRUCTURAL change, but, as noted above, it is a futile approach. Repealing the 17th Amendment would create the conditions necessary for the revival of the 10th Amendment, because it would: (1) reinstate the states-versus-feds dynamic that the 17th Amendment mostly eliminated and thus give Senators incentives to stand up once again for their state's rights, powers, and privileges, instead of merely fighting (as they have done since 1913) over how much federal cash they can win for their state; and (2) strengthen the ability of the Senate to serve as a check on the passions and nationalizing tendencies of the House. Federalism died in 1913 because the Senate was turned into a glorified House of Representatives. The two chambers have become too similar. Now they both have incentives to expand the federal establishment at the expense of the states. To be effective checks upon one another, the House and Senate must be very different from one another. At least one chamber -- logically, the Senate -- must represent and fight for the interests of the states AS states. That can only happen if Senators are chosen BY state governments, as they were before 1913. If you want to revive the 10th Amendment, you must repeal the 17th Amendment. The case for repealing the 17th Amendment is strong. See Ralph A. Rossum, _Federalism, the Supreme Court, and the Seventeenth Amendment: The Irony of Constitutional Democracy_ (Lexington Books, 2001).

The author confuses Nullification, with "passive resistance." In truth, Nullficiation depends on state sovereignty; otherwise the federal government CAN simply overrule it in state or federal court, using whatever arguments it pleases. The phrase that the fed has exceeded its powers, is met with simple DENIAL by the Court.
DerekSheriff
Brian, you may have misunderstood me. Nullification isn't simply passive resistance. Nullification carries with it the force of a sovereign state's law. In most cases, the federal government has simply backed off. But implicit in an act of nullification is the authority and the duty of the state government to interpose its protective shield between agents of the federal government and the innocent residents within its jurisdiction if necessary. All I'm saying is that if enough states use nullification, then the need for interposition will become less likely.

Good article. Among the organizations that have sprung up to oppose the usurpations of the central government is The Oathkeepers, which you can read about at www.oathkeepers.org. The key principle of the organization is a refusal to obey illegal, that is, unconstitutional, orders (I recall from officer training that we spent considerable time during our first week talking about that, being able to distinguish legal from illegal orders). From their site: Oath Keepers is a non-partisan association of currently serving military, reserves, National Guard, veterans, Peace Officers, and Fire Fighters who will fulfill the Oath we swore, with the support of like minded citizens who take an Oath to stand with us, to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic, so help us God. Our Oath is to the Constitution Our motto is "Not on our watch!"

Roderick, I am official member of Oath Keepers and had the privilege of meeting Stewart Rhodes in person when he spoke at the Freedom Summit in Phoenix. I like Boston T. Party's description of Oath Keepers as "an unstoppable idea."

Freedom Foundation and Hertitage Foundation con artist Mark Skousen who 'teaches' at Columbia Univerity and holds an annual 'Freedom Fest' that I call Fraud Freedom Fest in Las Vegas with 'libertarians ' such as Ron Paul and James Dale Davidson.At a recent Fraud Freedom Fest attended by Ron Paul it was James Dale Davidson who devoted his entire lecture bragging about his marriage to a Miss Brazil.Shows you what stock fraud buys besides special treatment and protection from the SEC. No wonder Ron Paul wrote a letter to SEC decrying the supposed dangers of 'naked short selling' to cover up for the right wing fascists('LIBERTARIANS') who claim their worthless penny stock frauds were 'naked shorted' rather than pumped and dumped by themselves.If the impotent Davidson ever oversdosed on viagra impregnated this Brazilian queen it would be a trragedy to bring it on the planet but Ron Paul would insist and would dictate that all women be baby machines if he became dictator himself.Yech.

You don't have to like Ron Paul, I for one find his foreign policy a bit disagreeable, that being said hes not my congressman, and even if he were id be willing to give up on my foreign policy views to regain more liberty here at home. At the end of the day I find it hard to care more about whats going on overseas then whats going on here at home. If you want to be spared Ron Pauls domestic policy choices then you should want to decentralized power as he does, return domestic policy back to the states, and simply dont live in Ron Pauls State of Texas. Then you dont have to worry about people like Rom Paul or any other out of state politician you dont like. Even your instate politicians can be better manage cause you dont have to live in that state you can always move to a state that is more agreeable to you if its that important to you. Thats the nature of decentralizing power, its removing the threat, lowering our weapons and learning to leave each other alone to do what we want, so that we can live with each other in greater peace, liberty and happiness. We dont even ask you to trust us or our political leaders, indeed thats part of the point, if we are able to return power back to the people and out of Washington, you wont have to trust our leaders ever again in the matters of government which really matter most to our individual lives. (Domestic government) We want greater political peace and liberty, and for the first time in a long time we recognizes that can only come from ending this political war for control over each other, thou the Federal government, and letting us each go our own way. We cant both be happy and free unless we agree to leave each other alone and thus allow each other to be more free of one another. To the same end as this war for control will never end and simply require ever more levels of compromises, we individually cant be free until we end this political conflict for control over each other. We stop thinking that we know the only answer, and if only we could impose it upon everyone they would all understand that it is for the best. That is not only a fiction has 100+ years of trying has proven but its missing the point of government all together, its not to make us all thou force more prefect, its to make us all more free from each other to find out own individual definition of perfection.

politicians are doing now? In fact, while I hope that voters vote state sovereignty in the 2010 midterm elections, helping to destroy the phony powers now wrongly associated with the corrupt federal government, I'm not stupid enough to think that the state governments are any more determined to protect their citizens than the feds are; consider that the five bluest states are the leaders in reforming the electoral college, for example. The bottom line is that citizens need to keep their eyes on federal and state governments, in fact, as much as they need to keep their eyes on any two-year-olds. Also, if I had my way, the states would implement the following. Given that driving students, for example, are expected to pass a series of tests before actually being issued a driver's license, I think that prospective voters should likewise be required to pass federal and state constitution tests before being able to vote. In fact, since the Constitution doesn't prohibit states from prohibiting citizens from voting on the basis of ignorance of basic constitutional law, why don't the states implement such tests? Finally, I think that we need federal and state recall laws so that voters can give the boot to corrupt lawmakers and judges who get into the system.
DerekSheriff
I think we must FIRST demand that our state governments reassert all the powers which they rightfully retain, according to the 10th Amendment, under the Constitution: Everything not expressly delegated to the federal government in Articles 1-3 (Something like 35 specific powers). The people of the several states can't effectively keep watch over, or hold accountable an all powerful federal government that governs them from thousands of miles away. Many people have met their state representatives and know where they live and work. Few people have met one of Obama's Czars or a US Supreme Court Justice. Trying to change the people who make up the federal government by "voting the bums out" every 4-6 years is a futile strategy. Instead, we have to demand that our state governments "ignore the bums" and resist them if necessary.
Monorprise
Someone in Congressman Pauls district needs to call or write him as to bring him up to speed, that time where nullification is to again be brought back has already come. Paul needs to find out what he can do to help theses state level efforts. Help to undermine the Federal Governments ability to respond to our states. Uses whatever power you have on the inside help our States more effectively implement nullification, while at the same time helping to frame the debate. The Fight has already started, now we have to win, both the practical battle and most importantly of all the public opinion battle. Ron Paul can help us do that by convening his fellow republicans to make this a optional plank. Say: "We stand with our people and their States no matter what it takes, we will not allow you to stand in the way of liberty." Convene them this is a way to apposes the democrats and stop this socialist takeover, tell them they must do all that is within their power to aid us and our states in this effort, to insure that this fight is won not by the federal government but by the forces of decentralization. While the republicans are in the oppositional minority, they are ours to uses as our agent to aid our efforts.

Great comment. Great ideas! Thankfully, many folks with his Campaign for Liberty (C4L) are very aware that it has already begun. Tom Woods spoke at a recent regional C4L conference on this very issue. In fact, he put the book he WAS working on "on hold" in order to write a book which will be titled: "Nullification". It will be available in June and I couldn't be more thrilled!

The Council members should not be appointed by the governor. How about by NCCS, FEE, IOC, and Eagle Forum? The problem with these appointments is that the Gov. is probably an illegally involved attorney who is operating in the Corporate State instead of on the de jure Union. The colleges are "accredited" by the government. The political parties have agendas and only one's is strictly the Constitution. The Law schools are the worst of all, never even requiring original intent, The LAW, to be studied. The commission sounds like a great idea, but whom to put on it is a real problem. Of course, I would suggest members of the Constitution Party, but that's not going to go over well with a lot of people. So, they'd best be elected, but with whose money? Maybe they could be elected by the State Legislators! ?? But that should be the Senate!

I agree that the Grant system of giving back money to the states is being abused by the federal goverment. They hold back funds if the states do not fall into line with them on a passing a law. The feds then just say oh the state did not need to pass the law, and all we would have done is not given them some federal money that other states that do pass that law are going to get.

Most of our elected employees at every level are what is known as career polititions. In effect also knoen as liars and thieves. They are also very timid because tar and feathering is no fun. when nip comes to tuck they will fold and leave the employers (us) to fend for ourselves. Meanwhile the rest will say "you (the employer) have no authority. As I have said many times, it is up to the PEOPLE, you know, the employer??? Me an you. I am all for nullification and embrace it whole heartedly. It is our elected liars and thieves that worry me.

State Signs up with the Feds The topic in Nashville this week was the Federal Government's "Rush to the top" or something of that title. This has to do with Tennessee participating in a "stimulus package on education". You can mark it down, this will end up in FAILURE. "We're from the government and we're here to help you???!!!" Only two State Reps. declined this "bonanza". How long will elected government officials continue participating in this "Crush from the top".

Who are the Constitutional members of the united States of America? Madison and the boys replaced the enumeration of the Members of the Union, the list of member States, with the words "We the People." Just what does "We the People" mean, anybody who reads the document? Here in America "We" hate Unions. Only about 10% of the work force is unionized. Maybe it is time to hate the original Union, the one all others were patterned after, The united States of America.

I completely agree with this and I applaud you for bringing this often-ignored scam to light. We all have heard TV pundits scornfully talking about "pork barrel spending" all of our lives and have developed a knee-jerk reaction to it as a bad thing. But it is a scam! The money was ours (the people's, the counties', the states') in the first place! Why should we have to scramble to get back from the federal government that which is rightfully ours? It is a very clever way that a tyrannical government scams us into thinking that we must go to them for everything. We should keep ALL tax money in the states until the federal government has proven to us that every expenditure is constitutional and within a balanced budget. WE HAVE THE AUTHORITY!

Question: In ""The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.", what does "or to the people" really mean? Does this mean that "the people", you and I, can nullify federal laws? This phrase seems to be completely overlooked. So, I am asking for clarification. Any constitutional lawyers (other than Obama) around? Very good article, by the way. Thanks
MichaelBoldin
Sean - it's an extremely important question! When "the people" was added to the 10th Amendment, it was to affirm the principle of "popular sovereignty" - that "we the people" were the sovereign. Sovereignty in the American system means "final authority" All through history, it was just kings and queens who held sovereignty, and thus final rule in a country. The American system was unique in that the average person was sovereign. And, to add to my long rant here, the meaning of sovereignty at the time of the founding was clear - the sovereign held all authority, the sovereign could delegate power, all powers not delegated are retained, and all delegated powers can be recalled at any time. If you'd like a full dissertation on this one issue (and a little more), I strongly urge you to read Professor Kurt Lash's seminal work on the 10th Amendment, "The Original Meaning of an Omission" http://www.tenthamendmentcenter.com/2009/07/27/th...

We the people are lawfully above the constitution as we 'ordained and established' it. The 'citizens' however, are under it's jurisdiction. One can be both, depending upon their claimed capacity at the time. One must use 'common law' to make it stick in a 'court of record'. There is 'law' (common law) and 'equity'. See Article 3 section 2 of the U.S Constitution and the 7th ammendment. See 1215.org if you want to do battle.

Fraud vitiates everything. The federal government, meaning Congress as no other branch has law making authority, cannot make laws that operate within the states, as it has no authority to do so. It may not regulate interstate commerce - that is a myth designed to deceive so that people would begin to believe every act by Congress meant it was law. Among does not mean between. Furthermore, to date I have not found one local official, one state official, or any other in any political subdivision that obeys even one premise of the Constitution, state constitutions, their Oaths of Office, state statutes, or any applicable statutes (such as Title 18, Sections 1961 et seq). It is as if all believe themselves to be above the law, while they RULE over us. Application of any statute applied to the people in the form of control, making criminal for violating, etc. are unconstitutional from the get-go, as no legislature, executive, or judicial branch has that authority as the people are the sovereign. There are literally thousands of supreme Court and other high court rulings to this effect, along with American Jurisprudence. Many legislators have created resolutions while at the same time they oppress the right to exercise our inherent and inalienable rights as we see fit, with the only rule as far as we people are concerned, is that we do not violate the rights of others. As long as these traitors to the supreme Law act in this fashion, the people will still be oppressed as every government entity within every state profits greatly. IF - and it is a big if - every local official behaved within his Oath of Office, neither state legislators nor federal legislators could carry out controlling statutes that are in fact made only to control government and the artificial persons it creates. We are the sovereignty; they are the servants. Thus, if every man, woman, and child understood that freedom and private mean not under government control, and would stand tall against the many acts of coercion used to force compliance, the federal government would not have any means of enforcing its acts upon our people, nor would state governments and their creations.

There is more chilling news than that, Jennifer. Since Obama was running for president he has repeatedly made reference to having a sort of special police that would be trained like the US military and , presumably, be under presidential control. This might be the national force of zealots that would move from state to state replacing reluctant federal enforcement and punishing the states. Can you say GESTAPO?
@twitimbo
Any state can use its legal power to not cooperate with unconstittional federal law or use whatever LEGAL force needed to stop the federal government from doing what that state thinks is wrong. I can't see how it would be judged unconstitutional for a state to use its own legal powers to interfere with federal enforcement of any law since it is not prohibited in the constitution.
Frank
The powers of Congress are "enumerated". If Congress makes a law which is outside the legislative powers granted to it by the Constitution, then it is the Right and the Duty of the Sovereign States to "nullify" that pretended law. Here is a paper which explains "enumerated powers" very well: http://publiushuldah.wordpress.com/2009/09/08/con... I expect State officials have taken Oaths to support the U.S. Constitution.
