“Do you think Cruz would at some point call for states to nullify unconstitutional federal acts?”

I don’t know. And given what we’ve seen to date, I doubt its a call that would be taken up regardless of who did so. There are 50 states and 50 governors. With a few exceptions relating to RKBA, nullification has been avoided by the states like the plague. I just don’t see more than a small, small handful of states having any inclination to do so at all. And none are inclined to do so on a widespread basis.

My personal view is that its a tactic with very limited usefulness.

Worth a try. The issue, as always, comes down to money - in this case federal funding of the states.

The fight for freedom isn’t just some kind of sentimental mush. Real blood was spilled and real lives were lost when we decided to nullify unjust English law for the sake of living free lives. Freedom is still as valuable as it ever was.

So the financial dependency versus freedom from unjust laws is as relevant today as it was 250 years ago.
