Reddit mentions of Nullification: How to Resist Federal Tyranny in the 21st Century

It's the law until a state practices nullification. Here is a link to a Tom Woods book you should read.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1596981490/ref=mp_s_a_1?qid=1367541672&sr=8-1&pi=SL75

Without nullification, the states are just powerless administrative divisions of the federal government. It's incredibly important to have sovereign states who can place a real check on the continued growth of the Federal government.

"Nullification" by historian Tom Woods is a pretty good primer on this subject.

>What you are arguing for is the dissolution of the US government as defined by the founders.

No, that's what we have had. The US government was not intended to be a single entity, but rather a federation of largely self-governing states.

We have differing opinions and something tells me we're not going to convince each other. I personally believe that localism is required for true liberty. I do not have any race-based intentions at all - I was born and raised in NYC and am "colorblind." If you want to see the perspective of the pro-nullification crowd read this book.

You should read Tom Wood's Nullification. He frequently discusses how state rights doesn't advocate racism.

Also, it's pretty easy to show that racism is a poor economic decision. In free markets, businesses practicing racism would be punished by market factors and slowly driven out of business. This might have taken a little longer than the Civil Rights act of '65, but the process would have been more organic instead of coercive and would have probably led to less painful sentiment between blacks and whites in the southern states.

The judiciary company pays the jury through the money they make on their customers. Either it they are paid on a case by case basis or the company might set up an insurance system, it's up to the entrepreneurs to find the most proper and best solutions for every case. But juries payments already come out of court costs, there's no reason that should change.

Nullifcation is the age old idea that the jury has final say. If someone breaks the law and the jury believes that that law should not exist, so be it, they nullify and the law no longer exists.

Big Government:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fugitive_slave_laws

> The fugitive slave laws were laws passed by the United States Congress in 1793 and 1850 to provide for the return of slaves who escaped from one state into another state or territory.

Our ability to ignore Big Government:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jury_nullification

> Jury nullification is a concept where members of a trial jury find a defendant not guilty if they do not support a government's law, do not believe it is constitutional or humane, or do not support a possible punishment for breaking the law.

> Some commonly cited historical examples of jury nullification involve jurors refusing to convict persons accused of violating the Fugitive Slave Act by assisting runaway slaves or being fugitive slaves themselves, and refusal of American colonial juries to convict a defendant under English law.[2]

If you are so inclined, you can reading Tom Woods book on it

Wrong. The Federal law is only supreme in the specific enumerated powers granted by the states to the federal government. See 9th and 10th ammendment.

Also, Nullification by Tom Woods
