Serious State Pushback

Expect no assist from federal courts. Most of the judges grew up in an educational and professional environment that disdained the Constitution in general and the 9th/10th Amendments in particular. The distinctions between making/executing/judging law have become dangerously blurred as courts increasingly write laws and the executive agency administrative courts adjudicate regulations with the force of law.

If the movement toward nullification is as strong as the author reports, the answer is to repeal the 17th Amendment. Put the states back in the national government as our Framers did, and we'll see the end of judges hostile to the states, and stop writing laws that are within state prerogatives.

The Constitution gave us a peaceful means to correct our mistakes. The 17th must go.

Amen. The problem is that the very people that would over see the process are the ones that DON'T want to cede the power. It may seem a bit over used at this point; JFK's famous statement, ""Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable" seems to be coming to fruition right here in our front yard.

Its definitely time for states to start ignoring Federal judges. The Constitution is very clear, only the SCOTUS has jurisdiction over a sovereign state.
