In 1851 Massacussetts, New Hampshire, and Ohio passed nullifications of the Fugitive Slave Law of 1850 as well as ordinances which would punish anyone who cooperated with the FSL with punishment twice as harsh as the penalties of the federal law imposed for failure to assist in the recapture of a fugitive slave. Sounds like soeone in Texas knows their history. Now see if they follow through.
“well as ordinances which would punish anyone who cooperated with the FSL with punishment twice as harsh as the penalties of the federal law”
This is really the way to go. Just pass laws stating that local cops, fire departments, everything, can’t help the feds IN ANY WAY.
Federal courthouse burning down? “Judge, I guess you have to put it out yourself. Get your own water, too.”
The passive-aggressive solution would destroy the beast.
