Obama & Thugs unthinkingly blame Bush for everything.

But if patriots were to blame everything on the 17th Amendment, then they’d probably be at least be partially right most of the time imo.

Both the federal budget from hell and the need to nullify unconstitutional federal laws these days are a direct consequence of the ill-conceived 17th Amendment imo.

The 17th Amendment needs to disappear.

I was on a jury. The judge told us nullification was illegal. The defendant was acquitted.

Obama has established that the president can ignore any law he dislikes. Perhaps it’s time to expand the precedent.

Because the states are sovereign, they can nullify any federal law to keep it from having effect inside their borders. I can’t explain why no state has formally nullified the unconstitutional, freedom-killing Obamacare law. But we may yet see that happen.

There is jury nullification and there is something more prevalent, Reality nullification. Reality nullification is like when the media and acedemia and liberal talking heads all promote the "Hands up don't shoot" lie, it never happened, it wasn't real. That is just one example. Another is how the media, almost daily now shows White on Black violence and never Black on Black violence. This promotes a misconception - it is reality nullification.

The Network scenario wasn’t nullification, it was acting out anger. JMO
