A few paragraphs into Federalism: Yesterday and Today, I went into the Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions and their aftermath.

A few paragraphs after that, I covered the South Carolina nullification crisis and its aftermath.

Existing legal precedents would argue against nullification unless the Constitution were amended to permit it. That is one of the things I'd like to see come out of an Amendments Convention.

“Existing legal precedents would argue against nullification unless the Constitution were amended to permit it. That is one of the things I’d like to see come out of an Amendments Convention.”

Yes, maybe with a low super-majority. Liberals have given themselves de facto nullification of selected federal law as they are proud of their “sanctuary cities” and medical pot laws. If a liberal city can nullify immigration law, my city can nullify the federal National Firearms Act.

Opps, given how many liberal minds would explode over that suggestion, maybe the suggestion alone would be considered an act of terrorism.
