More, from that bastion of neo-Confederacy, Campaign for Liberty:

Thomas E. Woods, Jr., author of such smashes as Meltdown, The Politically Incorrect Guide to American History, and The Church and the Market, has done it again. After reconciling Catholic teaching and free-market economics and after explaining how violation of free-market principles brought on the current depression, Woods here takes on the central issue of our day: what to do about out-of-control government.

Under today's constitutional law, the "Federal" (really now national) Government can do anything it wants. The speaker of the House literally laughs at the implication that it cannot. For anyone who knows history and loves liberty, this is a worrisome situation.

What to do?

Woods's answer is to dust off the Jeffersonian tradition of nullification. Nullification lays out the argument for nullification's constitutionality, describes historic and contemporary instances in which the doctrine has been and is being employed, and advocates that it be used more widely today. Finally, in a very useful appendix, Woods provides some of the classic nullification documents from days gone by. The appendix serves both to arm the reader with pro-nullification arguments and to illustrate the variety of circumstances to which it has been applied.

For over a century, Woods says, the Federal Government has grown and grown. Electing new officials has not checked that growth, even when those officials were authentically dedicated to reining in the government's growth. To those who might think of nullification as a risky strategy, Woods's response is that nothing else is working. Nullification is a tool in the bag of those who want to dam the river of government expansion. It has been used before, and to good ends. It is being used now, for minor purposes. Woods hopes to see it actually implemented in states that understand Obamacare and other such federal initiatives to be unconstitutional. To judge by what is coming out of legislatures these days, perhaps he will get his wish. As he puts it, "We have been helpless spectators long enough." (p. 143)
