ACTION NOW: Write your governor; call your state attorney general.
The judiciary has consistently ruled against the nullification doctrine, asserting its unique, judicial right to declare laws unconstitutional.
But this executive order isn’t a law. And given its extremely shaky legal footing, it isn’t difficult to imagine a federal bench recognizing the states’ right to disregard federal orders that don’t clearly have the force of law.
And that would be a tremendous — tremendous — blow against the executive’s assumption of legislative powers.
But in the shorter, directer term: It would force the Obama administration to go on offense, suing the states to enforce a law that isn’t a law. And I don’t think that case can be made.
a wonderful Kwanza Present for Obie!!
OBAMA CALCULATEDLY SKIRTED THE LAW AND SIGNED TWO "MEMOS" TO LAUNCH AMNESTY: Nullification means power to the states and power to the people.

Thanks, Liz.
Indeed. WE must hold their feet to the fire. I am all in for Article V action
I could write my new governor, Larry Hogan. Writing my current governor would be a waste of time.
For being a lawyer he’s confused he makes his own laws as he wants no wonder he never went into business he would have been broke the first year all he has is a mouth and no brains.
I doubt Piyush ‘Bobby’ Jindal would read my letter, since he is so busy galavanting about the nation, like obama, to do his elected job!
