Let's all hope the Convention of States proposed by the Citizens for Self-Governance gets off the ground. But if not, states must prepare for financial independence from the feds and start nullifying egregiously and grossly unconstitutional federal acts.
I was being sarcastic. The Supremacy Clause implies some check on the federal government by the states. Only federal laws “pursuant to the constitution” are to be considered enforceable. Who deems the law “pursuant to the constitution”? The supreme court? It doesn’t make since that a body even farther removed from We the People would dictate what pursuant means.
I think the Convention of the Stats is a laughable waste of time. With one stroke of the pen, one phone call, 5 judges, every effort made by the COS people WILL be wiped out. Nullification is the only tool to avert serfdom.
