the time honored practice of state nullification

You do realize, of course, that this is a pathetic joke. The "nullification act" was totally discredited during the Jackson era (1832) and never raised from the dead again. There is no such thing as " nullification" by the states, at least since the Civil War. Good luck with that, if you want to fight it all over again.

JMO but I think you've oversimplified the argument. The give and take of governance, especially under our form of federalsim is bound to generate conflicts from time to time. Perfection is not something we will achieve on this earth. Tyrants are always with us. They will always do what tyrants do. How they are stopped is the subject of centuries of debate. They haven't been stopped yet, only sent to their corners for a while waiting for the next opportunity. The group that won the last round may not be the group that wins the next one.
