It’s time for nullification of so many things. States should just reject the notion that the federal government is a controlling legal authority. It really isn’t.

The states have put themselves in a position with the federal government as a welfare recipient, do it or we will stop the money. Most of the rat hole sanctuary cities are what they are because of the federal dollars OUR TAX DOLLARS pouring in. We the American people are indirectly supporting this. State governors need to take a stand

“States should just reject the notion that the federal government is a controlling legal authority. It really isn’t.”

Amendment X to the US Constitution: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

With respect to “Marbury v. Madison” the early 1800’s Supreme Court case where it usurped the power to define the Constitution and law here is a quote from Thomas Jefferson: “But, you may ask, if the two departments [i.e., federal and state] should claim each the same subject of power, where is the common umpire to decide ultimately between them? In cases of little importance or urgency, the prudence of both parties will keep them aloof from the questionable ground; but if it can neither be avoided nor compromised, a convention of the States must be called to ascribe the doubtful power to that department which they may think best.”

—Thomas Jefferson to John Cartwright, 1824. ME 16:47
