The New Hampshire state legislature took an unbelievably bold step
today by introducing a resolution to declare certain actions by the
federal government to completely totally void and warning that
certain future acts will be viewed as a "breach of peace" with the
states themselves that risks "nullifying the Constitution. "
This act by New Hampshire is a clear warning to the federal
government that they could face being stripped of their power by the States (presumably through civil war!)
The remarkable document outlines with perfect clarity, some basics
long forgotten. For instance, it reminds Congress "That the
Constitution of the United States, having delegated to Congress a
power to punish treason, counterfeiting the securities and current
coin of the United States, piracies, and felonies committed on the
high seas, and offences against the law of nations, slavery, and no
other crimes whatsoever;. . . . . therefore all acts of Congress
which assume to create, define, or punish crimes, other than those so enumerated in the Constitution are altogether void, and of no force;"
Federal gun crime laws? Void. Federal drug crime laws? Void. The
gazzillion other federal criminal laws that deal with anything other
than the specific enumerated crimes? ALL VOID.
