It's refreshing to learn that Reid's successor is for abolishing the Department of (mis)Education, and that at least one sitting senator would do so if he had the power.

Realistically, it's probably not going to happen if the Republicans get control of Congress next year. I base that prediction on past performance during the years that Republicans had both houses of Congress and the Presidency.

But there is another way to de-fang the federal wolf that can be done by citizens and elected officials at the state level, whether or not Congress remains in Democrat control: Nullification.

The States will reign supreme, just as was intended by the Framers.

AMEN! to that. Just finished it up and it's fantastic. We HAVE the mechanism to dismantle the Federal Leviathan, it's called the 10th Amendment, and it does not hinge on national elections, the power is right there in the states. And once the ball gets rolling and the people get a taste of their personal sovereignty once again, we can unravel the whole shebang - peacefully!

I would like to see a lot more talk of Nullification here on FR (ok that means I should start posting more I suppose).

I’ve been preaching State Nullification for some time now. Few pay attention. Looking to buy that book and see what suggestions are in it. Thanks.
