RE :”If the Convention of states doesn't do it, then individual state nullification, refusal of federal funds, and severance from unconstitutional federal mandates can't be too far behind.”

states?

States want that federal $$$. It saves them from raising taxes(even higher).

States want that federal $$$.

Yes a lot of them do. But what the Right in general and states in particular need to get a renewed vision of, is what proved Adam Smith right and made America prosperous in the first place: small government and the robust riches, wealth, and prosperity of the free market economy.

Some states like Texas show signs of willingness to severe federal funds for the free market. If any state would do that and rather let the free market run things with minimal government and taxes, it wouldn't be too long that you'd have that state more prosperous than the bankrupt federal government. If little, natural-resource poor Hong Kong can do it, any state can do it. It just takes guts and faith.
