"...Nullification is a legal theory in which a state can "nullify" any federal law that it deems unconstitutional...."

Interesting Thought.......

The thing that bothers me about individual states nullifying a federal law is the following. If federal lawmakers actually respected the Constitution that they swear to protect and defend (<- that’s the problem) then federal lawmakers in both Houses of Congress should have killed any unconstitutional bills.

Another way of looking at this is the following. I have a problem when only one state actually nullifies a questionable federal law. It would make more sense to see many, if not most states, nullify a bad-apple federal law.

As far as anything being nullified, the whole Constitution and Bill of Rights are contracts which neither “We The People” nor the government has upheld the tenants of. For all practical purposes, they are null and void as any broken contract would be.

Any thread concerning nullification must include Nully.
