Freedom Outpost – Publius Huldah

This is a long article with numerous
footnotes, a good reference article
These
enumerated powers concern:
- Military defense, international commerce &
relations;
- Control of immigration and naturalization of
new citizens;
- Creation of a uniform commercial system:
Weights & measures, patents & copyrights, money based on gold
& silver, bankruptcy laws, mail delivery & some road building; and
- With some of the
Amendments, protect certain civil rights and voting rights (for blacks,
women, citizens who don’t pay taxes, and citizens 18 years and older).
It is only with respect to the enumerated powers that the
federal government has lawful authority over the Country at large. All other
powers are “reserved to the several States” and The People.
To sum this up:
Nullification is a natural
right of self-defense.
Rights don’t come from the
Constitution. Like all Rights, the right of self-defense comes from God (The
Declaration of Independence, 2nd para).
Nullification is a reserved
power within the meaning of the 10th Amendment. The Constitution doesn’t
prohibit States from nullifying, and We reserved the power to do it.
God requires us to disobey
civil authorities when they violate God’s Law. That’s why the 2nd para of the
Declaration of Independence says we have the duty to overthrow tyrannical
government. See: The Biblical Foundation of our Constitution.
Nullification is required by
Oath of Office: Article VI, cl. 3 requires all State officers and judges to
“support” the federal Constitution. Therefore, when the federal government
violates the Constitution, the States must smack them down.
Conclusion:
Our Founders and Framers
were a different People than we of today. They were manly men who knew statecraft
& political philosophy and could think. But our “experts” of today have
been indoctrinated with statism and can’t think. They just repeat what they hear.
We need them to man up, throw off the indoctrination, learn our Founding
Documents including The Federalist Papers, get a Logic Book, and stop
disseminating misinformation! We need them to repudiate cowardice as the proper
response to the evil which is overtaking our Land. Man up, People! PH
