I think there's a good case for secession being a matter of right under the original constitution but not nullification. Either you are in the Union or not - can't pick and choose which federal laws to follow. Doesn't a lot of states do this already with marijuana. States are never required to enforce federal law. Nullification is affirmatively taking action to prevent federal enforcement of federal law - for example, SC tried to stop federal customs officials from collecting tariffs at SC ports. Legalizing something expressly illegal at the federal level would seem to be nullifying the law. It doesn't legalize it, strictly speaking. All it does is decriminalize it under state law. Jeff Sessions could have ordered the FBI to go to CA, CO, etc. and start arresting people at the marijuana stores, even the medicinal ones. He talked it about enough to make some credit card companies refuse to touch the business. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! <cite>red sox 777 posted [p:912135402] in Politics C...
