"You seem … to consider the judges as the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional questions; a very dangerous doctrine indeed, and one which would place us under the despotism of an oligarchy."

-- Thomas Jefferson, Letter to William Charles Jarvis, (28 September 1820).

The federal government, whether SCOTUS, Congress, and/or the President, are certainly NOT the ultimate arbitrators of all constitutional questions. The states are. (Ninth and Tenth Amendments, Art VI, Cl 2 U.S. Constitution).

If you get that, you’re one of a precious few that does.

This is the basis for IMMEDIATE state resolution and nullification of unconstitutional federal acts and decisions.

But so far, not enough people get this. Part of the problem is people have somehow let go of the Constitution, the ONLY legal bastion of freedom against federal tyranny, as the Supreme Law of the Land.
