However, [Thomas E.] Woods adds that the states should not turn to the courts when they believe there is unconstitutional overreach. “If the federal government can just monopolize the determination of what its powers are, it’s going to keep acquiring new powers. The states have to have some counterbalance in check and federal courts, ultimately, for whatever victories you might win once in awhile, cannot perform this role because they are an interested party. They are one of the parties in dispute between the states and the government. You don’t refer disputes between you and your neighbor to your wife.”

A couple of good links within the article are worth a look also.
Please ~ping~ me to articles relating to the 10th Amendment/States Rights so I can engage the pinger.
I've stopped monitoring threads and unilaterally adding names to the ping list, so if you want on or off the list just say so.

Damned right!!
I agree nully is our best practical way to force the Federal Government to seriously back down .
To the state courts: Under-rule (v. overrule) the unconstitutional laws of the rouge federal judicial government.
One has to remember the structure of government follows the delegation of authority from the People. The federal government does not have jurisdiction over the states. It cannot force the state to implement a federal law. The federal government has jurisdiction over individuals. Likewise, the state government and local governments have jurisdiction over individuals. That jurisdiction is further limited by the metes and bounds of geography. Finaly, that jurisdiction is further parsed by jurisdiction over subject matter. The federal jurisdiction in that regard is enumerated and is supposed to be specific. The state jurisdiction is general - however the state’s police powers of regulation over the individual are supposed to be constrained to the prohibition of actions that pose a substantial injury to general public health and safety.
The federal government “buys” power beyond that enumerated through the so-called spending power. It bribes the states into participating in a federal program like health care, over which it has no enumerated power. It becomes a parasite off state jurisdiction and authority.
The state, in turn, has expanded its police powers to use regulation to advance or promote a collective public benefit. It is just as much a violator of individual rights as the federal government is of state’s rights.
The simplest way to bring the giant to his knees is for EVERY company in America to fire ALL its employees and rehire them as independent contractors. Company remits NO income taxes, No Social Security, NO Medicare, NO Unemployment, etc. Independent Contractors shouldn’t file quarterlies (or file zero tax).
THEN they’ll listen. Just another form of civil disobedience.
