THE DOCTRINE OF NULLIFICATION
by Tom Lineaweaver
Follow this link to a definition of the doctrine of nullification... definitions.uslegal.com/n/nullification-doctrine/
While it is true that the Federal Government was established by the States, the Preamble to the United States Constitution starts with, "WE THE PEOPLE." The Constitution itself establishes that the United States as a republic, which is a representation form of Government. The people run the Government through their representatives. That makes the will of the people paramount. Therefore, I believe the people can themselves nullify laws they deem to be unconstitutional. But, in my opinion, I also believe the people also have the right to nullify unconstitutional decisions of the Supreme Court. Therefore, I have stated several times that I believe when Congress passes, and the President signs into law, any unconstitutional law, the people have the duty to ignore it.
I base this on the 10th Amendment, which says, "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." - See more at: constitution.findlaw.com/amendment10.html#sthash.sq4fLtrt.dpuf
It's plain the 10th Amendment includes the people, not just State Governments, to be part of the power structure of the United States, and therefore can act on their own behalf regardless of whether or not any Government supports the people. We the People ordained and established the Constitution to be a restraint on Government, and not the other way around. But the Government, both Federal and State, have enacted rules and regulations that have in essence cut off the will of the people from governance. No place is this more apparent than in election laws.
First, there is a Federal Election Commission whose function is to oversee and enforce Federal Election Laws. Problem is, there is no such thing as a Federal Election. There are only State Elections. In fact, the Electoral college was created to assure State Elections in case of President and Vice President. Not necessary in the case of Congress. It's obvious they are chosen in State Elections. Since there is no Federal Elections set up by the Constitution, Federal Election laws are unconstitutional, and the FEC is yet another unconstitutional independent agency, like the IRS and the Federal Reserve. These independent agencies only serve to restrain the people, not the Government. The purpose for election laws are to keep the common man from taking part in the political process. The Federal Government has become a capitalistic industry that allows certain kinds of people in, and everybody else out.
We the people can nullify these unconstitutional laws if we do something they don't expect. Get me into the White House. To accomplish this, I need people in all 50 States to get me on the ballot. Also needed is a campaign manager, and treasurer so we can raise money so we can conduct a campaign. We will need funds for advertising, transportation, etc.
If you are interested in being a campaign manager, either nationally in in the States, please let me know.
