And that is what it all boils down to. Under the Federalist system our Founding Fathers gave us, Congress had very few powers (Article 1 Section 8 US Constitution), everything else goes to the State (10th Amendment). When the National Government Nationalizes anything outside of Article 1 Section 8.... it is TYRANNY!!!
RC2 POSTED: On June 15, 1995, Norman Olson, along with militia leaders from other states, testified before the United States Senate Subcommittee on Terrorism. Olsons opening statement included the following: One other important point needs to be made. Since The Constitution is the limiting document upon the government, the government cannot become greater than the granting power. That is, the servant cannot become greater than its master. Therefore, should the chief executive or the other branch of government or all branches together act to suspend The Constitution under a rule of martial law, all power granted to government would be cancelled and differed back to the granting power. That is the people. And Ill conclude with this statement: Martial law shall NOT be possible in this country as long as the people recognize the bill of rights as inalienable.
FOX NEWS' JUDGE ANDREW NAPOLITANO SAID IT BEST Free people enjoy the right to use nullification as a protective measure... to have their state legislatures act to prevent federal domination.
A legacy of USSC Taney's Dred Scott judicial activism, was that the ruling would lay the groundwork for the rights of states to nullify----to make null; to invalidate; to counteract the force or effectiveness of unconstitutional laws.
Nullification in US history, is a doctrine expounded by the advocates of states' rights. It held that states have the right to declare null and void any federal law that they deem unconstitutional.
Nullification is also a fundamental state right to prevent federal domination. States enjoyed the right to use nullification as a protective measure against unconstitutional federal laws by making them ineffective against their citizens. For example, Montana nullified federal gun laws.
HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE After Dred Scott, nullification had become a states' right tradition, and both the North and the South exercised it prior to 1861 SOURCE .http://www.thefreelibrary.com/ COPYRIGHT 2009 American Opinion Publishing, Inc.
STRATEGY To get your support, the candidate must take a stand to use state govt to nullify the federal govt's unconstitutional overreaching into our lives. Demand candidates nullify ObamaCare.
