More alarming is the left\u2019s goal to make its political power permanent by granting amnesty to 20-30 million illegal aliens, granting statehood to D.C. and Puerto Rico, expanding the Supreme Court, and normalizing the censorship of conservatives, not to mention the institutionalizing of election fraud, especially in key swing states.<\/p>\n
There is little doubt, if history is our guide, that should the left achieve permanent political \u00a0power, future elections will just become\u00a0 \u201cshow\u201d elections, our 1st and 2nd<\/sup>\u00a0Amendment rights will be diminished, if not gutted, and our economy will become permanently stagnant as with all other socialist economies in the world.\u00a0 \u00a0It will be the beginning of the end of America as we know it.<\/p>\n A proposal to challenge this attack on our rights<\/strong><\/p>\n Our Founders, however, were extremely wary of federal power and thus created a number of checks and balances to counter it. \u00a0One of them was the ability by the states to \u201cnullify\u201d federal laws and even Supreme Court decisions.\u00a0 \u00a0As most conservatives \u00a0know, nullification is when a State decides to not abide by a federal law, regulation or even a Federal court ruling by simply refusing to enforce it.\u00a0 This concept is rooted in the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution, which plainly states that if the states, who are the creators of the federal government, have not specifically given them authority, that authority rests with the states and the people of the state:<\/p>\n 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.<\/strong><\/p>\n Over the last 150 years or so, liberal legislators and judges have violated the Tenth Amendment by illegally expanding the scope and power of the federal government. We know that Federal power is limited because such powers were actually \u201cenumerated\u201d or listed in Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution and include actions\u00a0 such as\u00a0 \u201cTo lay and collect taxes,\u201d\u00a0 \u201ccoin money,\u201d and \u00a0\u00a0\u201craise and support Armies.\u201d \u00a0The federal government was\u00a0not<\/em>\u00a0given any role in education, health, welfare, transportation, energy, or even with maintaining secure borders.\u00a0 All those issues were left up to the states to decide. If our founders wanted to expand the federal government into every area of our life, they would\u00a0not<\/em>\u00a0have specifically listed the very few powers they granted it.<\/p>\n Conservative constitutional scholars such as Thomas E. Woods, in his book,\u00a0Nullification, How to Resist Federal Tyranny in the 21st<\/sup>\u00a0Century<\/em><\/a>, documents that our Founders believed that if a \u201claw is unconstitutional and therefore void and of no effect, it is up to the states, the parties to the federal compact, to declare it so and thus refuse to enforce it.\u201d<\/p>\n The left will scream about such nullification efforts, but they have been engaged in nullifying federal laws for years.\u00a0 For example, all state laws legalizing marijuana are illegal since they\u2019re\u00a0 in conflict with federal narcotic laws, but states have simply refused to\u00a0 It is time our side use this tactic as a way of protecting our constitutional rights. Here are some of the issues that could be affected by the concept of nullification:<\/p>\n Of course, states will be reluctant to invoke nullification but the alternative would be to watch our constitutional rights be trashed by leftists.\u00a0 The MAGA movement in the Red States needs to became active in urging legislators and governors to start reclaiming their constitutional powers and begin nullifying illegal Federal law.<\/p>\n Once states are engaged in nullifying federal laws, I believe we will witness what I call the \u201cgreat migration\u201d in which conservatives will leave blue states to live in red states and vice-versa.\u00a0 And yes, this could lead to a peaceful balkanization of America in which the Red states become redder and the Blue states become bluer, but this is not our fault.\u00a0 It is the left that is \u00a0assaulting our constitutional rights and if conservatives desire to live in states that protect their rights, then so be it.<\/p>\n Already, we are seeing some movement in the states on the nullification front. The\u00a0Arizona Senate passed<\/a>\u00a0a bill that declares it will not enforce federal gun control laws.\u00a0Oklahoma<\/a>,\u00a0South Dakota<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0North Dakota<\/a>\u00a0legislators have all introduced legislation that nullifies Biden\u2019s executive orders.<\/p>\n Nullification is simply returning America to its original system of governance in which most governmental authority is decentralized to the states and counties. The federal government can\u2019t do much about it other than to cut federal funding for some state programs, but perhaps the time has come for states to do away with these federal handcuffs.<\/p>\n Image:\u00a0AHC300<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.americanthinker.com\/images\/bucket\/2021-03\/227954_5_.png\")
enforce these federal laws and so have \u201cnullified\u201d them.\u00a0 Likewise,\u00a0 states controlled by the left have allowed various cities and counties to become \u201csanctuaries\u201d in which they refused to abide by federal immigration laws.\u00a0 And no, the Marines were not sent in nor did any state or city even suffer the loss of federal funding.<\/p>\n\n
