The Imperial Court
From health care to marriage, how can you possibly govern the affairs of state (much else anything else) when the Supreme Court declares words have no meaning? The age of Clinton is upon us when the Constitution means exactly what 5 or 6 justices want it to mean--guess it just all depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is. Regardless, time for elected officials to go home, the Court now governs. I am adding 'bonus' commentary on these SCOTUS decisions to the upcoming release of Power Divided is Power Checked audio book. Stay tuned.

The US government is now a WWF match, where the ref "just happens" to look the other way as the bad guy pulls a foreign object out of his trunks and dukes the good guy across the back of the head, at which point the ref's attention returns to the ring to see the bad guy with the good guy's shoulders pinned.
1-2-3 "we have a new WWF heavyweight champion!!"
I asked you on one of your last radio shows, how can one expect a court, as one of the branches of the Federal Government, to vote to limit its own power? They have decided that words mean whatever they want them to mean, and it seems unreasonable for small government conservatives and libertarians to expect the Federal Government to effectively limit its own authority. The 10th Amendment remains the only effective weapon against an out-of-control Federal Government and more specifically the concept of nullification. While you have been a proponent of States rights, you have also been against the exercising of nullification as a way to prevent the over-reach of unconstitutional Federal powers. It may be worth reconsidering that.
Jason, shortly before you left radio, I called in to your show to, among other things, address this very issue with you. My belief -- you didn't agree, but perhaps because you didn't see the situation with the high courts as so dire at the time -- is that a need to embrace nullification if we can even hope to avoid becoming a dictatorship. We can talk about how things should be, but none of this is a solution. It is only making aware those who wishing to be aware. Nullification may be one of the last remaining, unchallenged tools in our box to combat an out-of-control SCOTUS, POTUS and Congress.
