Nullification is the Remedy

4

If elected, I would immediately propose bills to strike down and govern an awful lot of what we call “government.” Most taxation, regulation, litigation, mandates, prohibitions, subsidies, militarization and violence are out of control and need to be stopped. The proper remedy for this isn’t new government powers or anything unproven; it’s called “nullification.”

In response to the obviously unconstitutional Alien and Sedition Acts, Thomas Jefferson’s Kentucky Resolutions of 1798 very directly affirmed that what USA legislative, executive and judicial branches have done for generations, nullification (in the form of refusal to enact, comply or enforce), is the proper remedy for constitutional transgressions by any branch of government.

This is actually the only active power courts have as a check and balance against the other branches. They often nullify laws or actions they judge to be unconstitutional or otherwise wrong. Legislative branches often write laws that nullify, repeal or phase out others.

And Executives very often refuse to comply or enforce laws. Typically they refuse to enforce the constitutions themselves, but they also refuse to enforce acts like DOMA, and thus make major shifts of policy.

I’m just proposing we finally do it for liberty and justice, not for the benefit of elite cronies.

And so unlike Democrats and Republicans, who spit out new laws like watermelon seeds to add power and layers to government, confusing which laws are law and which are not to punish their enemies and reward their friends; I would move to entirely repeal broad swaths of what gets between citizens and the freedom, peace, prosperity and security owed them by law.

I would propose specific repeal and/or nullification for legislation like Obamacare, Executive Orders and court decrees that have the effect of legislation, bureaucratic and treaty violations, illegal agencies and entities, illegal policies, and other, ongoing and upcoming transgressions against the constitutions.
