If the states all of a sudden with hold all the tax revenue they collect for the feds that would get the leviathans attention asap.

My point exactly. Once the precedent of nullification is established every federal agency from the IRS, EPA, DEA, ATFE and the FBI will find their power constrained by any state that disagrees with them on a given issue. Kicking a tiger in the balls will get its attention. But once you have his attention you had better have a plan for what you intend to do next. And don't be surprised if the tiger decides that the proper response to your attention getting scheme is to rip your guts out and devour what ever is left.

Obama has pushed those still loyal to the constitution to desperate acts. I used poker metaphor earlier and it fits well hear as well. Nullification is like calling when the other guy goes all in. He might be bluffing, or he might not. But one way or the other the game ends here.

If the states are united are they going to arrest 35 or 40 governors and huge swaths of state legislatures? That will go over real good with the public. This would be devastating public nightmare for the feds and display their blatant contempt for the Constitution and state governments.

It works both way with the leviathan. If you refuse to do business with gov. agencies what are they going to do then seize businesses our right? Sounds rather soviet in nature.

The states can hang together or hang separately to steal a quote from a founding father.
