It’s that time of year again. We’ve started working on the 2018 edition of our annual State of the Nullification Movement Report. Tackling this 70-plus page report every year is a lot of work. But it’s also a good opportunity to take a step back, look at the big picture and reflect. It’s also a chance to pause and look ahead toward the year to come. Looking at the big picture is good for my psyche. During the legislative session, I tend to get very myopic. I focus on one bill and one task at a time. One day, I might be talking to a state representative about a bill addressing surveillance. The next day, I might find myself writing testimony for a hemp bill. The next day, the focus might shift to the Second Amendment. It’s almost impossible to k...

...from Tenth Amendment Center One of the more ludicrous claims about the Constitution is that fifty-five old white rich men just sort of “made it up.” There are two versions of this claim: One that it was put together out of whole cloth to serve their interests, and the other that it was revealed in a flash of divine light. This claim has been disseminated by people who should know better. For example, in 1972 a Montana state commission authored, and Montana State University published, a pamphlet to “educate” citizens and convention delegates about the supposed need for a new state constitution. To convince the reader to adopt the authors’ principles instead, the pamphlet asserted that “When the Founding Fathers of the United States . . . desired to write their ideas about government on paper, they found few guidelines.” In fact, the Constitution was the product of centuries of “guidelines.” In addition to classical writings on the subject, including those by Aristotle and Cicero...

...from Tenth Amendment Center Today is the 642nd day that the GOP has failed to repeal Obamacare, or gun control, or end mass, warrantless surveillance… But the feds haven’t failed to stop spying on you. It’s not just the NSA. From stingrays/cell site simulators, to license plate readers, drones and facial recognition, governments at every level are ramping up their surveillance – of everyone. On this episode of Tenther Tuesday, Michael Boldin and Mike Maharrey discuss some of the many – many – ways that government tracks and stalks you.

...from Tenth Amendment Center Recently, I was having a discussion with a law professor who looks at matters from a historical perspective. While such law professors are not professional historians, many of them have adopted the historian’s perspective. During our discussion, one aspect of the dispute between historians and originalist law professors became crystal clear. When historians are making claims about the original meaning, they look at the matter, naturally enough, from a historian’s perspective. There will be several possibilities. The matter was discussed and there was a dominant opinion on it. The matter was discussed and there was no dominant opinion. Instead, there was a relatively even split of opinion on the matter. The matter was not discussed at all or rarely discussed. When confronted with these circumstances, the historian tends to view only case 1 as having an answer. The reason I think is straightforward: the historian is attempting to report the past a...
