Rights: The people always have the right to reject bad laws. See Declaration of Independence "whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it".
Pot Laws are Not Direct Nullification: The Federal drug laws stand; the States pass laws that directly contravenes Federal law and ignores Federal law. The State laws treat Federal law as if it does not exist, as legal nullity. To treat Federal law as a legal nullity is nullification, plain and simple.
Federal Law is Supreme: Obviously it is not, because Washington and Colorado now have legalized marijuana in direct contravention of Federal law. The Federal courts say one thing, the people of Washington and Colorado say another: the people win. 30,000 to 100,000 slaves escaped to the northern states, so those states did nullify the Fugitive Slave acts despite the Federal court rulings, and once again, the People won.
Segregation: School desegregation laws were good, so the people did not support their nullification, thus they did not stand, despite the efforts of a few misguided lawmakers.
Your statement about the nullification being 'first asserted [sic] to protect slavery' is still factually incorrect. See Alien and Sedition Acts, 1798.
Please cite one law passed by a Southern state which uses nullification to protect slavery. Unless you find it, then I think you must conclude that your premise that Southern states used nullification to defend slavery is false. Slavery was already codified in Federal law and in the Constitution, the Federal courts supported slavery. It is illogical that a State could or would use nullification to protect a Federal law: nullification can only be used to defy Federal law.
Thank you for acknowledging some of the positive uses of nullification.
People of every race are all the same, we're all human beings, we're all the same inside. Your remarks are so totally rascist it's unbelievable. Obama is all of ours president and whether you want to disagree he is a good president. Just because your party tells you to be that way, you do it? Do you do everything they say? They are wrong, their ideas are not what this country is about, their radical ideas have their base so riled up and for what? You have been lied to and manipulated from the party that used to be ok and now is infiltrated by these radicals. Are you in some dream world that you think you're back in the beginning of this country and playing the part of the bad guy? Your beliefs are what this country fought to get rid of.
Ahhh come on... Rove re distributed a lot of money into the economy.. that's a good thing.. Media companies; this includes camera operators, photographers directors,waiters, technicians, sound people, lighting and gaffers, studio rental,make up artists..lots of makeup, artists, printers, dinners and lunches out, hotels..I hope his people tipped well.. What if that money were still sitting stagnant in a few people's bank accounts? He also fed satirists and comedians alot to respond to. He also provided serious motivation to grassroots people to get out there and volunteer and for voters who saw ulterior motives to get out and vote.
