The the states must nullify because this is clearly an unconstitutional federal act.
The Constitution provides power to Congress to specifically REPEL INVASIONS (Art I, Sec 8, Cl 15). It is their constitutional duty to do so and the primary reason the federal government was formed by the states via the Constitution as stated in the preamble “to provide for the common defense.” Failure to do so should be an impeachable offense. Short of that, states have every right to nullify on constitutional grounds to repel invasions.
Many states already have nullified this egregious and unconstitutional federal move by adopting a policy of allowing no Syrian refugee into that state. Of course an uncooperative and illegal federal government makes life more difficult. If Congress fails to do their constitutional duty, then in order to implement their policy, I see no alternative to that state setting up checkpoints at their state lines.
Contrary to Ryan’s justifications of acquiescence, there is NO constitutional mandate for the feds to be “compassionate.” More often than not, acts of federal “compassion” are unconstitutional federal acts, as this one is, which by definition are acts of tyranny. This refusal to stop the invasion of this clear and present danger is an unconstitutional federal act of tyranny. Nobody needs compassionate tyranny.
The feds continue to demonstrate that they have absolutely no intention of abiding by both the limitation and mandates of the Constitution. Federal tyranny must be resisted at every level including individual state nullification.
The battle for freedom never ends and is only over if the defenders of freedom give up. NEVER give up! Give me liberty or give me death.
I agree. While it may not mean much, a unified nullification would be very hard to ignore.
Ryan is/was a Judas goat for the democrats. One only has to look at his family of lawyers, his avoidance of military service and to this day his behind the scenes actions in Congress.
