And actually, the constitution was only a modification of that. How can I say this with confidence, because when the rest of the nation had a vibrant two party system, in our state, you had a poll tax, and the real election was the Democratic runoff. I should also note that here, we don’t hold “Lincoln” dinners as Republican fundraisers.
When you consider what classically defines a nation as a nation, the United States contains several of them. And I still personally believe that nullification is a valid doctrine. The reason Republicans took the majority is because of state’s rights. The fact is, California should be governed under a different set of laws than my state is. We believe different things, and our laws should reflect that.
The only reason for the existence of a national government, and our Constitition, is the protection of the Life and Liberty of the people as a whole. Remove that, and there is no foundation left for the American republic. You are declaring it dead, whether you know it or not, or whether you will admit it or not.
