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.

Maybe if one state did, many will follow....

(sort of a “legal rebellion”.....)

then regardless what SCOTUS said, jurist can nullify any prosecution.
