Lots of legislative chatter about it here in Michigan lately. My state rep is pushing legislation that would bar the state from enforcing administrative law in many cases.

He speaks about guys who build a garage only to find that the spot he chose was designated a wetland and ends up facing thousands of dollars in fines, jail time and potential orders to remove the building and restore the damp ground.

He’s also introduced legislation to eliminate unenforceable local ordinances. Liberals are responding that all laws are enforceable if you just hire enough people to enforce them.

Good for your state rep.

Other than the attempt by the Citizens for Self-Governance in the Article V Convention of States to reverse things, I think our best shot is state nullification of unconstitutional federal action.

For your rep or any state to successfully nullify fed action, the people and officials of that state will need to accept the very real possibility of doing without federal funds. IMO, a state would do better without federal funds if they adopted the free market with lower state government and taxes. That state would have a good chance of becoming much more financially healthy than the bankrupt federal government.
