Local support grows for nullification of federal laws

This article by Tim Eaton, was published in the Austin American Statesman. The article talks about candidates that are talking about writing state laws that would neutralize federal laws.

Some say it's unconstitutional and illegal, but others say a sort of unofficial nullification can sometimes occur. Debra Medina is a supporter of nullification. She is trying to shame Texans into supporting the issue. She tells us that more than thirteen other states have passed nullification laws to stop the federalization of health care. She states, "Texas sits on our hands."

Gov. Rick Perry doesn't talk about nullification but instead skips right to seceding from the U.S. He seems to support nullification also because he attended a rally in Plano for the 10th amendment, which some believe justifies the nullification of federal laws.

This article is worth reading because this could be a big deal in Texas if we do nullify federal laws or secede from the United States.
