Every once in awhile, someone tells us, “The Constitution doesn’t say anything about nullification. That means states simply can’t do it.”

But they’ve got things totally backwards.

Tenth Amendment Center: Joint Law Enforcement Task Forces are Creating a National Police State

Image
...from Tenth Amendment Center Through the proliferation of joint law enforcement task forces, the federal government is creating a national police force that operates in a legal twilight zone with little or no oversight. Law enforcement officers from various state, local and federal law enforcement agencies make up these joint task forces. The concept evolved out of the unconstitutional “War on Drugs” launched by President Richard Nixon. The first multi-jurisdictional task forces were put together in the 1970s. Dan Baum chronicled the evolution of these multi-jurisdictional police forces in his book, Smoke and Mirrors: The War on Drugs and the Politics of Failure . Radley Balko summarized Baum’s description of the origins of these task forces in a Washington Post article writing, “Nixon wanted ‘strike forces’ that could kick down doors and put the fear of God into drug offenders without burdensome hurdles like the Fourth Amendment or the separation of powers.” Initially, many ...

Tenth Amendment Center: Medical Firearm “Silencers” in Missouri? New Bill Sets the Stage

...from Tenth Amendment Center JEFFERSON CITY , Mo. (Jan. 7, 2018) – A bill prefiled in the Missouri House would allow people with a medical waiver to possess firearm sound suppressors, partially nullifying some federal regulations in practice and effect.

Tenth Amendment Center: Dallas Event Will Highlight Nullification

Image
...from Tenth Amendment Center Is nullification just a talking point? Or is it a real solution to modern problems? An event in Dallas this November will take on this question. The secession of 15 states from the Soviet Union in 1991 was the greatest peaceful revolution in modern history. Secession and decentralist movements are firmly entrenched throughout Europe. Discourse about secession and state interposition to federal tyranny has become mainstream in America on both the political left and right. Are we witnessing a paradigm shift away from runaway centralization? The Abbeville Institute is putting on a live event to discuss these issues. Tenth Amendment Center founder and executive director Michael Boldin will talk about the state of the nullification movement. Other scheduled speakers include Mises Institute President Jeff Deist, Emory University history professor Dr. Donald Livingston, former Oklahoma state representative and gubernatorial ...
