...from Tenth Amendment Center Donald Trump promised to “drain the swamp,” but as Peter Schiff put it, “The swamp is now bigger and more expensive than ever!” Republicans tout themselves as the party of fiscal responsibility, but the Trump administration has managed to outspend every one of his Democratic Party predecessors – and all of the previous Republicans too. The US government spent a record  $433.3 billion  last month, running up a monthly deficit of $214 billion, according to  data released by the US Treasury Department . That’s $433 BILLION spent in a single month. Federal government spending came in 30 percent higher than August 2017 and ranked as the highest outlay on record. The deficit (spending over revenue) for the fiscal year (beginning in October) hit $898 billion. That compares to a $674 billion deficit in the same period of fiscal 2017, a 39.5 percent year-on-year increase. The Congressional Budget Office now projects the deficit will eclipse $1 trillion

Barack Obama’s big return to the public sphere, where he attacked “cynicism” and called for more “transparency and accountability.” But, as Jim Bovard notes in his latest USA Today column, how can anyone take him seriously, when his administration did as much or more than any previous to ramp up the total state?

...from Tenth Amendment Center WASHINGTON (Sept. 11, 2018) – On June 7, members of Congress announced bi-partisan legislation aimed at reforming federal cannabis laws via an appeal to the Tenth Amendment. This is another example of proposed changes in D.C. driven by state nullification efforts . The Strengthening the Tenth Amendment by Entrusting States (STATES) Act of 2018 was introduced by Senators Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Cory Gardner (R-Colo.) in an attempt to eliminate the threat of federal prosecutions in states such as Colorado and Washington. A companion bill was introduced in the House by Representatives David Joyce (R-Ohio) and Earl Blumenauer (D-Ore.). Many see the bill as a response to Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ rescindment of the Justice Department’s Obama-era Cole Memo in January. The Cole Memo was interpreted as a step to discourage federal intervention in state-level cannabis legalization. While the motivation behind the bill likely has more to do with

...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 candidate Dan Fisher, and more.

...from Tenth Amendment Center HARRISBURG , Pa. (Sept. 10, 2018) – A bill introduced in the Pennsylvania House would prohibit enforcement of some federal gun control laws. Passage of this bill would take a big step toward making Pennsylvania a sanctuary state for gun owners. Rep. Daryl Metcalfe (R- Cranberry Township) introduced House Bill 357 ( HB357 ) on Sept. 5, with 41 bipartisan cosponsors. Titled the “Right to Bear Arms Protection Act, the bill would declare any Federal law which attempts to register, restrict or ban a firearm, or to limit the size of a magazine of a firearm, “unenforceable within the borders of this Commonwealth.” This restriction would apply to both federal and state agents. Section 1, subsection B states: Penalty.–An official, agent or employee of the Federal Government, the Commonwealth or a political subdivision who enforces or attempts to enforce a Federal law under subsection (a) commits a felony of the third degree and, upon conviction, shall be su

...from Tenth Amendment Center Early this year, U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced a plan to rescind an Obama-era policy that de-prioritized federal prosecution of marijuana laws in states that have legalized cannabis. At the time, I said the announcement gave Sessions another opportunity to rail against pot, but that it would have virtually no practical effect. I was right. During the National Conference of State Legislatures 2018 Legislative Summit in Los Angeles, California, on July 31, Vanderbilt University law professor Robert Mikos explained why Sessions can’t and won’t crack down on marijuana. In the first place, Congress has tied Sessions’ hands, at least with respect to medical marijuana. In every budget since 2014, Congress has included a provision barring the Department of Justice (DOJ) from spending any funds for the prosecution of medical marijuana users or suppliers who are in compliance with state law. Even if Sessions wanted to crack down on medicinal
