I haven’t read anything of substance regarding non-ratification of the 17A. Yes, any event it is a progressive win of monstrous proportions . . . that must go. I clicked your link and checked out some articles. I can’t say I’m a nullification supporter. State nullification of national laws would render the union a confederacy of independent states. OTOH, administrative regulations from DC deserve no respect from the states and should be actively opposed.
I’ve been careful to never guarantee the outcome of an Article V COS. It is just the best course of peaceful action to possibly reverse the rot.
Oh, to what does “16 American Jurisprudence” refer?
State nullification of national laws would render the union a confederacy of independent states.
Precisely what the founding fathers said we were independent States. I might leave out the word confederacy as that smacks of 1777, but States loaned the Federal Government the power to exist, not fundamentally change the way government operated, amendments notwithstanding. After the Civil War, States were bullied into seeing the Fed as their overseer not as it should be the Fed at the mercy of the States except for Article 1 Section 8 of the Constitution that clearly says what government is allowed to be engaged in.
