Nullification is the historical idea that states can ignore federal laws, or pass laws that supercede them.

This is a lie, and this whole screed is based on it.

Never trust the premise of a liberal.

RE: This is a lie, and this whole screed is based on it.

Nullification, in United States constitutional history, is a legal theory that a state has the right to nullify, or invalidate, any federal law which that state has DEEMED UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

The theory of nullification has never been legally upheld by federal courts.

Well of course not. The federal courts are a body entirely different from the states.

The question then becomes this -— WHO and WHICH BODY in a state will propose and pass nullification?

I’d really like to see a few states band together to do this.

We’ll see who blinks first.
