Subject: Re: Arizona & immigration law; Thomas Jefferson & nullification

Man, what we need to see is Arizona to step up and exercise what
Jefferson, Madison and many others stated to be law. From
Britannica.com regarding nullification:

in U.S. history, doctrine upholding the right of a state to declare
null and void within its boundaries an act of the federal government.
Thomas Jefferson and James Madison advocated nullification in the
Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions of 1798. The Union was a compact of
sovereign states, Jefferson asserted, and the federal government was
their agent with certain specified, delegated powers. The states
retained the authority to determine when the federal government
exceeded its powers, and they could declare acts to be “void and of no
force” in their jurisdictions.
