If obama issues an executive amnesty should the states refuse to comply?

[ShootSpeeders]

The very first words of the constitution after the preamble are "all legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a congress of the united states." That means only congress can write a law; not the supreme court and certainly not the president.

If the president issues an executive amnesty, he will call it an executive order but it's really a law and states need to say that it is thereby unconstitutional. According to the tenth amendment of the federal constitution, the states have authority to nullify unconstitutional federal laws.

Hasn't 'Nullification' been tried before, to no good result?

It was used in 1798 against the Alien and Sedition Acts to great result, and the people who complained about it in 1798 then turned around and used it during Jefferson's term to nullify the embargoes.

Also, Liberals today use nullification against federal marijuana laws to great effect.

The states have the constitution on their side when it comes to nullifying federal laws. But they don't do it. Lots of talk about states nullifying obamacare a few years back. But then the cowards backed down.

It might yet happen though i don't think amending the constitution will do any good. The federal govt simply ignores the constitution. That's why states need to start nullifying federal laws.
