The logic of sovereignty. Now on some level, we shouldn’t care: resisting violent people who claim the right to expropriate you and force you around is a natural right, and doesn’t rely on any parchment guarantee. But I for one prefer to address my opponents from every angle I can, including their own. These days we’re seeing a lot of ... MOREWashington State Prepares Gun Control Nullification Bill

MOREPolice Chief Seeks To Nullify Unconstitutional Gun Control
by Alex Newman. While the Obama administration and some Democrat lawmakers plot ever more extreme assaults on the Second Amendment,

Touted by conservatives and constitutionalists as a tool to restore the balance of national and state governments, the amendment would enable states to repeal any ... MOREWalter E Williams: Should We Obey All Laws?
Only if we are truly a nation of sheep. Let's think about whether all acts of Congress deserve our respect and obedience. Suppose Congress enacted a law — and the Supreme Court ruled it constitutional — requiring American families to attend church services at least three times a month. Should we obey such a law? Suppose Congress, acting under the ... MOREWashington Times: Virginia Attempts To Nullify The NDAA
