State nullification may be the last best hope we have to defend ourselves from a federal government with an insatiable thirst for power. Economist and historian Thomas Woods wrote a book about it a couple of years ago which I highly recommend. It seems some folks down in Arizona might have read it.
From azdailysun.com:
Initiative would let voters overrule federal law
Voters could get the right to overrule federal laws and mandates under the terms of an initiative filed late Thursday.
The Arizona Constitution already says the federal Constitution “is the supreme law of the land.” This measure, if approved in November, it would add language saying that federal document may not be violated by any government — including the federal government.
More to the point, it would allow Arizonans “to reject any federal action that they determine violates the United States Constitution.”
That could occur through a vote of the state House and Senate with consent of the governor.
But that also could occur through a popular vote on a ballot measure, effectively allowing voters to decide which federal laws they feel infringe on Arizona’s rights as a sovereign state.
