nullification is one of those loaded words. Palin wisely stayed away form embracing that word and instead placed it within the 10th amendment discussion.

Nullification was the word tossed around by the South during the run up to the Civil War. Any politician that embraces the word nullification stands a great chance of being branded a racist and/or a person living in the past.

the “stumble” you notice was more a matter of trying to reframe the question without the word nullification. IMO

Maybe so even though in the legal community it is used with no such connotation and it's becoming an echo of an alternative action the states may very well take in response to this rogue federal government.

I also thought I noticed a slight difficulty articulating how our freedoms and rights are God-given, not man or government given. I'm sure she would agree with this concept but if she hasn't in the past done so (I don't know) I hope she's better able to articulate this.
