Message: <blockquote data-quote="SMS" data-source="post: 1170716" data-attributes="member: 42">Through what authority?  You are almost convincing me, but I don't see what authority a single state has to deem that a federal law, validated by the judicial branch, under the authority of the Constitution, is unconstitutional.Perhaps if there is a question of constitutionality that has not yet met the challenge of the Supreme Court...but if it has how can a state override that?  To me, that is where Nullification falls flat, the states abdicated some power to the federal government by ratifying the Constitution, and if a particular law is born and validated within the Federal system created by that Constitution I don't see how they can get out of it short of convening a Constitutional Convention or secession....both of which are very extreme.  (almost as extreme as the County Sheriff fantasy posted earlier, LOL)</blockquote>
