As we all know, the 2020 election was a “tipping point” election on many different levels. An election won with the use of illegal last-minute changes to state election laws has led to a rogue regime that threatens the very foundations of America. This is being achieved through highly questionable executive orders, the decimation of the concept of national sovereignty and an attack on fossil fuels, the lifeblood of our economy. Moreover, Biden is converting our military into a social justice agency and transforming our intelligence services into witch-hunters for conservatives who dared to protest a stolen election.
More alarming is the left’s goal to make its political power permanent by granting amnesty to 20-30 million illegal aliens, granting statehood to D.C. and Puerto Rico, expanding the Supreme Court, and normalizing the censorship of conservatives, not to mention the institutionalizing of election fraud, especially in key swing states.
There is little doubt, if history is our guide, that should the left achieve permanent political power, future elections will just become “show” elections, our 1st and 2nd Amendment rights will be diminished, if not gutted, and our economy will become permanently stagnant as with all other socialist economies in the world. It will be the beginning of the end of America as we know it.
Our Founders, however, were extremely wary of federal power and thus created a number of checks and balances to counter it. One of them was the ability by the states to “nullify” federal laws and even Supreme Court decisions. As most conservatives know, nullification is when a State decides to not abide by a federal law, regulation or even a Federal court ruling by simply refusing to enforce it.

======================================
America's brilliant, prescient Founders were extremely wary of federal power....... b/c it could be used against we, the people.
IT'S TIME FOR RED STATES TO ACT
The Founders were extremely wary of federal power....... b/c it could be used against we, the people.
They wisely instituted measures to discourage the "bright ideas" of future "King George" wannabes--Pelosi, Biden come to mind, here.
Ergo, the Founders created a number of checks and balances to counter any royal pretensions by future elected officials.
<><> One measure was the ability by the states to “nullify” federal laws and even Supreme Court decisions. <><>
Nullification is when a State decides not to abide by a federal law, reg or even a Federal court ruling--simply by refusing to enforce it.
The cast of lefty voter fraud characters are stupefying in their originality. We have seen stories of:
<><> shredded mail-in envelopes,
<><> lost thumb drives,
<><> wiped computers,
<><> slow-walked requests for documents,
<><> rigged voting machines,
<><> suspicious looking ballots,
<><> disappearing Trump ballots,
<><> a federal judge fixing the all-important Georgia Senate race,
<><> and so on and so forth, ad infinitum, ad nauseaum.
There's lots of nail-biting in The Swamp WRT the mountain of voter fraud revelations being
readied for Jan 6, plus the ever-widening audience of voters hearing about voter fraud for the first time.
Penlosi, Schmanure and all the Pubbie sellouts McConnell, Sasse, Kinzinger, got sap-happy.....thinking they'd finally be rid of Trump.
At the same time, the sap-happy lefties want the flawed Biden administration to at least SEEM seem legitimate....
even with a doddering moron, his "Dr" wife at his side, and the greedy Biden Crime Family salivating in the wings.
Is that the reason for the gallons of vodka and valium in the Democrats' Capitol cloakroom?

Q.Can the federal government revoke statehood?
A.Based on past history, statehood can be revoked.
In March of 1868, Congress revoked the statehood of 11 states - all states of the former Confederate States of America. This was done via the Reconstruction Act.
The states were divided up into military districts and placed under martial law. Do you think any of these states voted in favor of this? If you think that they were not states, then think again, as all these same states had been admitted back into the Union as evidenced by all of them voting to ratify the 13th Amendment. Their statehood was not restored until 1877 when 2 things happened - a deal was struck that they had to support Hayes' bid for the Presidency, AND each had to ratify, post facto, the 14th Amendment (and the real reason for the Civil war was, afterall, to get the 14th Amendment or something close to it).
And secession? Well, in Rawles' book from very early 1800's "A View to the Constitution of the United States' (which was accepted as THE authoritative work on the Constitution) he stated that secession was the final solution available to the states, and apparently several northeastern states (Conn and Mass for example) thought secession was an option too if we examine the Hartford Convention.
So, yes, the Civil War was supposedly fought to preserve the Union, but after it was fought and won and all southern states had their statehood reinstated (which Lincoln claimed they never lost), it was purposefully taken away from them by the north because the southern states plus New Jersey, Ohio, and Oregon were adamantly opposed to the 14th Amendment. Therefore, by removing the statehood of the southern states, they were removed from the quorum calculation. (source: Quora)
