Right on the money. This is exactly what we need to do, and with state law as well. Especially here in Washington where we have a government agency running production of apples (Our main export) who are proud of the fact that apple farmers in Washington have less freedom than in Communist China, and where the freaking liquor industry is owned by the government. And it's a clear method by which we can fight back.

Am I the only one who thinks Tom is kind of like Murray? Historian, to some extent a workaholic, has made original contributions at a young age, writes so that even a layman can understand and has a down-to-earth approach to politics. Jeffrey on the other hand is the most insightful writer on everyday life and culture. I highly recommend his book Bourbon For Breakfast(also in free .pdf). It's a quick and fascinating read that will open your eyes.

The true undercut to all this is land reform. Our social safety net should be nothing less than a fair share of the land & resources we need to be self sustaining. Native Ameircans were free people with fierce local government & almost no large central government. Every person was fed and housed & none relied on jobs for their survival, yet they thrived. Our security shouldn't be on the shoulders of corporations because their focus is on profits, not our wellbeing. Free land. Free People. Start

ruddip: Some have said if the Feds won't enforce the laws that only they can enforce, then AZ should secede. I believe, that the States need not secede, they just need to realize that the national government has seceded from them -- it has violated its contract with the States (in this issue at least). Since the national government has defaulted on the contract, the States should declare it void and create a new government.

@NietzscheanMan hmm... "this would be much more contained", banks often operated up to 9 to 1 lending ratios under gold standard, and money supply contracted 27% from 1931 to 1933. So actually, and this is the irony, I don't think it is more contained, the difference is that nowadays it is only inflation, instead of inflate followed by deflate, both of which harm the population and the business environment. It wud appear that we dont need a fixed base, so much as a stable broad moneysupply.

"At least the state doesn't have a printing press" - banks create more money than the fed, by far the greatest contributors to the money supply is private lending since each loan creates its own deposit.

even the 1870 depression and the 1907 panic demonstrate that the credit cycle was present prior to 1913, a cycle of lending, inflation, then deflation, default and foreclosure on assets that banks never had the money to buy in the 1st place. Private bank money-creation is surely just as legitimate as fed printing, both of which are surely less legitimate than gov create its own money on. behalf of the ppl. So if we argue against fed, we ought to argue for gov control of the Money-supply.

I could be wrong, but didn't some states try this when Regan increased the drinking age to 21. The states that didn't change their laws didn't receive the federal funding they were due. Now, every state has a drinking age of 21. This is why states don't nullify. It's down to jurry nullification now! (note comment posted after only watching 17 minutes of the vid).

@dfjpr Hello. I know what you mean, but this is only possible due to people relying and for the most part only knowing about fiat money which gives the banks license to do this (due to state backing). In a free market environment where each bank is free to print its own currency etc.; this would be much more contained like it was before central banking (and you'd get the return of actual savings banks and such without fractional reserve banking).

NULLIFICATION IN THE HIERARCHY OF SOVEREIGNTY. REALITIES IN THE DOCTRINE OF LAW vs. FORCE. If Federal force is primary and controlling, in an atmosphere where "nullification" is blocked or rendered ineffective, even in the face of lawless tyranny, then we do not live under law or principles of law. It would amount to the very definition of "might makes right!" Since the States created the federal government under a constitutional compact and, the people in and of the States created the States under a State constitutional compact, then, if we are endowed with clear and viable powers of thought,... it becomes necessary to clarify the hierarchy of sovereignty in play. Being a Pastor, I would want to throw GOD's Sovereignty into the mix, as well! I perceive that Judge Napolitano makes that very point, even though he appears to acknowledge the religious and the nonreligious, so that both GOD-given rights and the "human rights" rights of unbelievers (where man is the highest authority) becomes part of his Natural Law instruction. What this all adds up to is a four-prong model of sovereignty: (1) the Sovereignty of GOD, which is self-existent, (2) the sovereignty of the people [(both individually and collectively) and by virtue of divine delegation of dominion over "all the Earth," as set forth in Genesis 1:26 (KJV)], (3) the sovereignty of the States created by the people, (4) the sovereignty of the national (federal) government created by the States. Needless to say, there is a reason why, in my breakdown of this hierarchy, I have placed GOD at the head of the sovereignty model [as Thomas Jefferson did in the Declaration of Independence (although it is a "Declaration," it is still codified as Law in the United States Code)]. For the sake of completeness and thoroughness, we must address yet another, fifth-prong in the developing scheme of sovereignty: (5) That is the emergence of international or global sovereignty, [being] created by the nations of the world (sometimes referred to as a "New World Order"), which has struggled, first in birth pangs (United Nations) and then to begin to feel feet grounded beneath it, since WWII. Sovereigns may delegate certain powers but, the principle remains that it cannot be irreversible and,... sovereigns can only be deprived of sovereign power(s), in whole or part, by the express consent of the original source of that [delegated] sovereignty. Otherwise, delegation is replaced by conquest (by the powerful and lawless). In reflection, that brings to mind an amoral action under some form of "survival-of-the-fittest" model, where "might" rules and "right" is irrelevant. The rather narrow view, brought forward in commentary, that only "sovereign nations" can nullify federal law(s), which plays in quite nicely to the continuation of federal tyranny, without recourse, is, in the final analysis, ludicrous. I do not think that it could even pass true legal/lawful muster. My legal research and studies have always proceeded on the premise that when a wrong occurs, the law provides a remedy (even if that remedy has not yet been promulgated in legislated law). I am fully cognizant of the fact, after having read thousands of case law decisional opinions, that scholarly sleight-of-hand has, in a number of cases, avoided the correct and obvious remedy. We know that "Jury Nullification" is viewed as a lawless exercise of power by the people, so much so that just mentioning such nullification can get one barred from jury service. It appears, that our legal system doesn't even want the average citizen to know about nullification power(s), the mere mention of which is viewed as tainting the entire jury pool. I mentioned it once and, it took the court some effort to spatula the prosecutor from the courtroom ceiling. My wildest imagination can only speculate on what would ensue from more serious forms of nullification. Please understand, I favor nullification of unconstitutional laws (although nullification cannot be the remedy across the board). I suggest that some laws, which turn out to be constitutional, but which nevertheless impact society in a negative fashion and cause unnecessary harm, also must be dealt with in a remedial way (of which one option may be nullification). The obvious problem which is resisted is that the constitution is not perfect (leaving room for reform). During my lifetime (I'm in my 60's), I have adopted the life rule and maxim that, when it comes to basic natural, God-given, and inalienable rights, it is never too much trouble to stand up for those rights. Unfortunately, in today's world, the expenditure of time and effort has been hindered by the false notion that action and effort must somehow be tied to material gain, monetary reward(s), and the recognition and/or approval of others. Moreover, people seem to be fearful, uncomfortable, and reluctant to stand alone (or with the few) against challenging odds (no doubt founded on the human tendency to want to be on the "winning" side). The wise among us realize that freedom is not free, nor is it usually easy to do that which must, under trying circumstances, be done. We are the modern-day guardians of freedom,... we must object in a timely manner, as well as relentlessly seek individual, societal, State, National, and, if applicable, international remedies. This must be done under a valid recognition of rights under law and not under the invalid doctrine that "might makes right!" The unconstitutional "jus-lex-morph" phenomena, being justified by various trained legal professionals, is truly alarming. GOD Bless or Best Wishes, whichever sentiment you prefer.
