Nullification Rules





"...the hollow sound of a wooden gong ... ." John Harold


Res Ipsa Loquitor
But opponents of sweeping nullification measures paint them as misguided, often politically motivated, and likely unconstitutional attempts to zero out reasonable and well-intended federal initiatives.

The assessment from the wolves in wolves's clothing (Politico) about states moving to nullify Federal law also contain this blistering charge from the Jim Brady Gun Nuts.

They are outrageous,” said Brady Center legal director Jon Lowy. “It’s disturbing that there are [state] legislators who are so willing to violate the [U.S.] Constitution but also that they have so little concern for public safety.

Oh My.

Politico buttress their campaign by saying, "And that’s not just coming from the left. The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, argues that nullification is not the answer to states’ concerns" 

Heritage may or may not have said that, but no matter; the left miss the point.  After years of inaction when it came to protecting Tenth Amendment rights,  people are scared, fed up, and angry enough to take action.  The smarmy left will be wise to recognize it as a shot across their bow.

Gone to Pot

DRAT!

Boned Jello

The Drudge entry SCHWARZENEGGER DECRIMINALIZES MARIJUANA POSSESSION IN CA... got my hopes up.  Like many others, I imagine, I took that to mean "SCHWARZENEGGER LEGALIZES MARIJUANA," which would have been exciting news.  No, not exciting because I want pot legalized; exciting because it would have boldly invoked the Ninth and Tenth Amendments to  challenge the federals unconstitutional overreach in criminalizing it to begin with.  I should have known better. Too many potheads in CA to get anything right.
