The doctrine of nullification is being resurrected:
"Such plans by the bureaucrats and administrators in Washington, D.C., are 'altogether void' and if mandated, 'shall constitute a nullification of the Constitution for the United States.'"
And this time it's Yankees making the case...

The people are restless. The feds are scrambling to consoladate power. The currrent stimulus bill has considerable state funding included. Which will have pretty short stings attached.
My state, MISSOURI, is already oodling over how to be prepared to spend the money ASAP.
so much for the resolutions re-stating the sovergn rights of states and the people within....
Remember, we were divided pretty evenly in the election. There are two major camps in Missouri: those favoring what’s right and Obama supporters.
That means, the resolution states, any “Act by the Congress of the United States, Executive Order of the President of the United States of American or Judicial Order by the Judicatories of the United States of America which assumes a power not delegated to the government … and which serves to diminish the liberty of the any of the several States or their citizens shall constitute a nullification of the Constitution for the United States of America by the government of the United States of America.”
This seems to assert that:
The assumption of “a power not delegated to the government…” “shall constitute a nullification of the Constitution for the United States of America by the government of the United States of America”
Even though
“(N)ullification of the Constitution for the United States of America by the government of the United States of America” is “a power not delegated to the government…”.
They complain the government assumes powers not delegated to it while ceding to the government a power not delegated to it.
A start, but not good enough for something so important.
And then there are another 2 million Missourians who didn’t vote for either. We don’t know what side they stand with or if they even have a side.
Interesting reads, both the linked article, and the article it referenced.
Blessed be those who know the depth and breadth of their ignorance. Cursed be those who don’t.

Is that kinda like, imagine Walte Brennan speaking; “It ain’t all the things a man don’t know that makes him stupid, it’s all the things he knows damn well...that ain’t so”?
“Is that kinda like, ...”
Yep, kinda like. Comes from the same way of thinking.
Comes from the same way of thinking.
