Ive always thought I was pretty main stream-- common sense and logic in my DNA so I chuckle when media, especially out of state media, this time Reno, points to a position I hold as evidence that there are those of us who are out there in our views on the republic. The theory was that a state had the power to interpose its will and nullify federal laws. (We’re not making this up.) It’s a doctrine that had considerable currency during the run-up to the Civil War and after enactment of the Affordable Care Act, there were some figures who called for states to nullify it. Texas Republican candidate for Gov. Debra Medina called for nullification and interposition to block federal laws in “agriculture, energy, education, health care, industry.” She stopped short of calling for secession, but just barely. Good to know a line is drawn somewhere. And Im guessing the more he knew about my lines, the more appalled he would be :)
