When All Else Fails: Nullification and State Resistance to Federal Tyranny

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

The Conservative Political Action Conference begins Thursday in Washington. Glenn Beck is scheduled to give the keynote speech.

...

The workshops and panels range from “Is It Time for a Catholic Tea Party?” to “Getting Started in Hollywood.” But the one that caught my eye was “When All Else Fails: Nullification and State Resistance to Federal Tyranny.”

How many of you out there thought we had settled the question of whether states have the right to nullify federal laws during the Lincoln administration? Can I see a show of hands?

It’s civil war déjà vu. The trick in conservative circles today is to see how furious you can get about Washington’s encroachment onto states rights without quite falling over the edge into Fort Sumter.

Why do you hate the Tenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution?

I am sorta concluding, the next "contract with America" needs to limit the Power of the Federal Gov't.

All evidence shows no matter who you send to Washington, they all end up doing the same thing within a few points of each other.
