The process of nullification or interposition, as shown in below diagram, is the States' sovereignty answer to unconstitutional laws, edicts, executive orders, fiats, and unconstitutional legislating through regulatory power of federal agencies that affect any state.. States have sovereignty rights that protect them and any state can interpose/nullify unconstitutional acts by the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches of government that affect their state.

U.S. Constitution, Amendment X: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."

There is nothing in the Constitution that gives the President the right to dictate what can be done within the territorial boundaries of any state in the union or what business enterprise takes place in international waters. If Alaska's, or any other state's government decides to drill for oil within its geographic boundaries, they have the absolute power to do so. The executive branch of the federal government has, in many cases, unlawfully intruded into and abused states' rights through the use of executive orders and through intrusive federal government regulations in many different areas, from mining, environmental restrictions on land use, oil drilling, claiming state lands for federal government use and regulation, education, healthcare, water use, and restricting legitimate business enterprises within the confines of individual states, to mention just some of them.

States have the lawful and constitutional right to protect their power and control within their own borders and can interposition and/or nullify unconstitutional intrusions and conscriptions of state power and control. Nullification means declaring an unconstitutional act null and void on its face. In other words, a state can void an unconstitutional act against the sovereignty and best interests of their state, as if the unconstitutional act does not exist. The same can be done in courts of law, to void a court order that was obtained through unconstitutional or fraudulent means, denial of due process, or bias on the part of the court, for example.

The American people, and the states wherein they reside, need to become better informed of their constitutional rights that have been for so long abused and denied---rights that they have, through ignorance and inattention, accepted as lawful "business as usual" and as things they have no control over or power to do anything to reverse.

US Hidden Oil Reserves Untapped, Why?   Spineless Congress in all three brances of both liberal Dems and Repubs ought to be very nervous right now when our nation finds out that we have the answer to both oil and our debt crisis.  This article needs to be shared with EVERYONE!

"THE OBAMA STRATEGY"

This is an absolute must read from, the American Thinker website, if you want to really understand Obama's strategy for winning in 2012.  It's an issue of "talk, talk..." versus "fight, fight."  When you read it, you will see clearly how doing one of these prevents the other---other being the one that gives conservatives the best chance of winning the presidency.  It is a clever, but diabolical strategy on Obama's part, it is working, and if we don't do something to change it, he will likely win re-election.

Yes, Roma, Debbie Gonzales does an excellent job of research and sharing that research, especially with regard to qualifying candidates for election. And, when she makes a blog post, we contribute comments to it.

Re your comment below, "I think he believes, as President his job is to appoint unelected Czars to do his job while he vacations and campaigns." His appointment of more than 40 "czars" is designed to do an end run around the Constitution and the U.S. Senate, whose job it is to approve advisors to the President. It is my understanding that he rarely even meets with his approved Cabinet officers, and allows these political "czars" to act as his advisors, in an unconstitutional capacity and role. It's a full employment for Democrats socialists effort on Obama's part---and a prime example of his "organizing" for America at the White House level. This is not only unconstitutional, it is a dangerous threat to our constitutional republic and our rights and freedoms.

Also, the Senate did a bad job of researching before approving some of the Obama advisors they did approve, like George Soros-allied Samantha Power, who advised him to go to war against Libya. And, we know Obama violated the Constitution when he followed that bad advice and took our country to war without a Declaration of War by Congress. But then, Obama's agenda is the same as Soros' and Powers' agenda. A good source regarding the unconstitutionality of that war action can be read in Rob Natelson's analysis of that unconstitutional action that is on his website.

But, you're right, Obama does spend most of his time taking vacations every other week, playing golf and basketball, and traveling all over the country to campaign for himself and for Democrat candidates---all at U.S. taxpayers' expense. He hasn't stopped campaigning since 2007. It's what he does. Apart from that, he's just dangling on George Soros' and the United Nations strings.

The news this morningis full of tornado damages and 194 deaths.

Where is our president, his is doing serious work, he has no time for silliness, he is late for the OPRAH show.

Not 1 single comment about the ruined lives of the people that have had their homes destroyed, not 1 word about the extreme loss of life. Not 1 word about declareing a state of emergency in the effected states.

Where is he when not on OPRAH, he is doing fund raisers for his campaign.

GOD in hope 2012, gets here soon. We must rid ourselves of this menace.

See you at poll watcther training tonight.

FCTP members Roma Cox, J.L. Gawlick, Pat McBride, Rick Story, myself and others spend a lot of time posting blogs that provide valuable information about prominent national and local news, the Constitution, the U.S. Congress, the FL Legislature, the national elections and local elections and candidates qualifications and voting records, the national budget proposals and the deficit, elections, the financial situation on both the local and national levels, education, Obama's unconstitutional war against Libya and states in this union, illegal immigration, globalization, the world-governance promoting United Nations, the dangers of Shari'a law to our legal system, the danger of labor unions and their economic drain on Florida's and our country's economy, vouchers and school choice, and many other important and timely issues we all need to understand to be informed voters and informed when we contact our elected officials. We include videos and links that provide more information.

Unfortunately, there is nothing on the website either driving traffic to our efforts or encouraging members to participate in the dialogue and learning process. I, for one, have learned a great deal from these other members who do participate. Also, there are no hit counters to let any blog poster know how many, if any, members are even linking to and reading these blog posts. Not everyone knows what a blog is or how to post one, let alone how valuable they can be.

We certainly cannot count on the FL Times-Union for fair and balanced news. Neither can we count on the alphabet national TV networks for it. A sidebar on the main page of the website with links to important, legitimate sources for news and information about our government and prominent topics of concern and interest, as well as contact links to state and federal elected officials and educational government resources would be helpful. Such information and a vehicle for accessing it quickly and easily would be a very useful learning resource and would provide needed information for members to share with others with whom they come in contact. Informed members will be more productive members in getting out the valuable message of the Tea Party and that we aren't just a bunch of people who have rallies and stand on street corners holding up signs.

Thanks for posting Billie.  I reposted most of these (that I could on facebook).  I am just amazed about the state legislatures and most especially the senate.
