Weren't these just the states that took this thing to the Supreme Court in the first place? Passing nullification would require so much more.

Nullification hasn't been a valid recourse of states since Andrew Jackson threatened John Calhoun and South Carolina with martial law over the matter. It was rightly closed then and hasn't really re-emerged.

Funny, though, that the states nullifying this represent some of the worst living/educational standards in the country. And of course, the great state of Pennsylvania with Tom "let's pull Mother Nature's panties down and rape her silly because there's natural gas to be had!" Corbett at the helm.


Except, that's not the case. There's been a huge upsurge in nullification in recent years. Like, the states nullifying the Federal Real ID law in 2007. That law is now effectively worthless.

Many places have started nullifying the controversial line of the NDAA. Interestingly, this is actually happening at local levels, with local Governments passing laws saying that the Feds can't do that shit in their city.

You also have the whole medical marijuana thing... let's see what happens after November when Colorado inevitably votes to completely legalise marijuana.

It doesn't work, because the FBI just comes in and raids the weed establishments. Same thing with the NDAA. If the government wants to do it, they'll do it. Nullification has no real effect except in cases where the government stops caring.
