Interstate commerce clause. Nullification was ruled on in the days of Andrew Jackson. Dumb. He wants to virtue signal, let him pardon that couple from St. Louis that were prosecuted just for brandishing guns at a BLM mob threatening them.

He can’t pardon them until they are convicted.

He’s running for senate in MO

Incorrect!

People transporting their own personal goods across State lines is not interstate commerce.

People doing things which are not interstate commerce are not covered at all, that includes local economic activity as there is no enumerated power given Congress to regulate intrastate commerce or things which may affect intrastate commerce but are not actual interstate commerce themselves.

There is no enumerated power given Congress to say what Arms the citizens may possess, nor indeed any enumerated power to forbid them to acquire, maintain possession of or dispose of personal or real property of any sort.

The 10th Amendment then expressly forbids the exercise of all powers not expressly delegated, noting that those are reserved (belong to) to others besides the federal, the States or the people.

Progressivism is theft of powers, transitioning the federal from a government established by the people through enumeration of powers to one where the government is lawlessly self establishing, grabbing powers and authority it has no right to these belonging to others.

Nullification, moreover, was not tried to be used in the 18th century against the unlawful exercises of powers where Congress etc had no delegated power to do something but in order to try to nullify statutes for which there was actual enumerated power, notably laws concerning the disposition of escaped slaves when later found. Those efforts were not nullification in a constitutional sense but only in the sense that they didn’t want to obey laws and they called it nullification.

Nullification of statutes which are themselves lawless for not being pursuant to the Constitution is entirely proper.

The federal is a largely unlawful entity, a thief of powers to govern and a thief treasure in order to sustain that lawlessness..
