Importantly, except for taxation, states can “nullify without nullification”, in many circumstances.
Most recently, the Arizona legislature is fighting back against the obscenity of the surveillance state, simply by passing a law that any evidence gained from such illegitimate practices cannot be used in state courts. It doesn’t matter if the feds gather it, and give it to state or local police agencies. Unless it is derived from a written warrant, it is not evidentiary.
Another good example is for a state to pass a law that there can be no direct cooperation between local police authorities without the express involvement and permission of the county Sheriff. While right now this includes just police activities, in the future it should be expanded to include “gifts”, often RICO-based, of money and equipment direct from the feds to local police departments.
Importantly, a good argument can be made that federal agents in a state must abide state laws, that they have no inherent immunity from prosecution for committing unlawful acts, as individuals, *or* under the color of authority.
Many states passed legislation against Kelo decision in support of the 5th amendment right to just compensation for private property taken for public use.
I am thoroughly enjoying the state resistance movement. Despite the dinosaur media’s attempt to ignore it, there is widespread revulsion with our consolidated government in DC.
Our determination to fight oppression will be better spent if more effort is devoted to an Article V amendment convention than nullification.
