Rasmussen Poll: Nullification Goes Mainstream

Posted on by

“Day after day, the media pounds out a relentless drumbeat against nullification. Pundits, commentators and so-called legal experts demonize it as unconstitutional, villainize it as racist and trivialize it with slurs like ‘wacky’ and ‘kookie.’ But while the political class continues to arrogantly ridicule Madison and Jefferson’s principles, everyday Americans embrace them in increasing numbers.  A Rasmussen poll released Monday indicates that nullification is growing more and more popular in mainstream America. More people than not approve of nullification in general.”

Colorado passes laws for the legal sale of marijuana beginning Jan. 1

Posted on by

“Lawmakers in Colorado voted Wednesday night to approve a historic, first-ever regulatory framework for the production, taxation and sales of marijuana.  Four bills awaiting the governor’s signature Thursday morning — SB 283, HB 1317, HB 1318 and HB 1325 — will convert the state’s medical marijuana regulatory agency into a body governing all marijuana sales and establish legal limits for driving while under the influence of marijuana. Voters will also be given the chance to approve a series of taxes on marijuana in November, starting at 10 percent sales tax at retail and 15 percent excise tax at wholesale, with additional local taxes to be set by each municipality.”

Texas House approves bundle of radical pro-gun laws

Posted on by

“The bills that passed include a measure letting college students over 21-years-old carry weapons in classrooms.  Lawmakers also approved letting schools select employees to carry concealed weapons on campus, and easing the standards for concealed carry permits. The bulk of the bills were targeted at easing restrictions on concealed carry weapons, such as making permit fees cheaper, preventing agencies from asking for detailed information on permit renewals, and restricting fingerprint registries for gun owners. The package of bills also includes a measure that declares all federal gun laws null and void in Texas.”

Sam Brownback digs in on “Made in Kansas” gun exemption law

Posted on by

“Dozens of states are considering bills that attempt to nullify federal gun laws. One such bill became a law last month in Kansas. It exempts ‘Made in Kansas’ guns from federal regulation and makes it a crime for federal agents to enforce federal law.  Attorney General Eric Holder said the law is ‘unconstitutional,’ and that the U.S. is prepared to sue Kansas to prevent the state from ‘interfering with the activities of federal officials.’ In a letter to Holder yesterday, Brownback wrote: ‘The people of Kansas have clearly expressed their sovereign will. It is my hope that upon further review, you will see their right to do so.'”

Arizona governor vetoes bill making gold legal tender

Posted on by

“Republican Gov. Jan Brewer vetoed a bill late Thursday that would have made Arizona the second state in the nation to recognize gold and silver as legal tender.  Brewer said she shared concerns with the measure’s proponents about a declining dollar, but she said the proposal was sloppily put together and did not address basic issues such as how transactions usingprecious metals would be taxed.  Brewer said it was unclear whether the state would have to exempt income tax related to a transaction involving precious metals under Senate Bill 1439. She said it could give businesses that buy and sell collectable coins an unfair tax advantage.”

Michigan House Unanimously Passes NDAA Nullification Bill

Posted on by

“On Thursday, April 18, the Michigan House of Representatives unanimously passed a bill prohibiting state agents and law enforcement from participating with the federal government in the indefinite detention of its citizens. By a vote of 109-0, state representatives joined their colleagues in the state senate in protecting citizens of the Wolverine State from being apprehended and detained in federal prisons without trial. The state senate unanimously approved an identical measure in March.”

Drug czar: No state can nullify federal marijuana ban

Posted on by

“President Barack Obama’s drug czar toed a strict line on marijuana Wednesday, saying federal laws will prevail regardless of state-level efforts to legalize pot.  Gil Kerlikowske said enforcement of the Controlled Substances Act of 1970 — which ranks marijuana as a Schedule One drug alongside heroin, LSD and ecstasy — remains in the hands of the US Department of Justice.  ‘No state, no executive can nullify a statute that has been passed by Congress,’ the director of the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy told a National Press Club luncheon.”

Congressional Research Service says not much Feds can do about legalized marijuana

Posted on by

couch1

“So where does this leave the feds? They can use their limited resources to arrest and seize whomever they can get their hands on. They can tie marijuana to other federal laws — gun possession, public housing occupancy, employment drug testing, etc.  None of these options will achieve the overturning of state laws. And their pettiness will turn individuals further against the federal government.  Or… the federal government could listen to the states, and to the people.  Just a thought.”

Keene Activist Threatened With Eighty-One Years In Prison For Weed

Posted on by

“The thing that Rich is counting on to stop the hammer from falling—and reward him for standing up for his why-can’t-I-sell-some-fucking-pot-to-my-friends principles—isn’t a traditional legal argument. It’s pretty much assumed that Rich did technically break the (unjust) law by selling weed. What he’s banking on is that the jury will ‘nullify’ his case—in other words, they’ll come to the conclusion that the statutes he violated shouldn’t exist in the first place and there’s no reason to send him to jail. That’s not such a far-fetched idea.”
