Why would anyone support an organization who takes an Oath to the US Constitution (and their own state), and then disregards it?
Seems like a good time to remind everyone:
Justices Rule Police Do Not Have a Constitutional Duty to Protect Someone
And when they do screw up, as they often...
But that's not what I asked, nor is it what you claimed. FWIW I think history, especially constitutional history, is more important than studying case law.
You, and most lawyers, put a lot of faith in that case. What exactly does obiter dictum mean?
It was just a quote. That's how I feel. ;)
I appreciate the debate.
I am citing history, and rightful remedies to Constitutional disputes from the horses mouth (Jefferson & Madison). You can't make claims ("provided for by the Founding Fathers" & "as the Founding Fathers intended" & "as the Founding Fathers provided in the...
That's a pretty broad interpretation. It may be taught in various law schools but I doubt Jefferson or Madison would agree with that assertion. If you have proof for your claim, feel free to share.
You're claiming Article III settles this, Jefferson was likely aware of the existence of...
That's what they originally wanted. I was at the Capitol when HB170 was being considered. The Senators and Representatives I talked with thought that it "would be a good first step." I smiled. :)

It's a legal theory recognized by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. The Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions of 1798 spell it out clearly. James Madison said the states were “duty bound to resist” when the federal government violated the Constitution.
That's not true. The Principles of ’98...
That's the best you can come up with? A Red Herring / Ad hominem.
FWIW you are not taught "the Constitution" in law school. You will never study the actual Constitution, or its history, or the State ratifying conventions in your quest at becoming a "Constitutional Lawyer".
I disagree.
Why would the states care what a federal court says in regards to a grievance between them and the federal government? It would be like us settling a dispute by asking my mom to referee. We hope she'd be fair but I think you know who she will side with. ;)
Just because we have...
Citing the Supremacy Clause merely begs the question. A nullifying state maintains that a given law is not “in pursuance thereof” and therefore that the Supremacy Clause does not apply in the first place.
I sent several letters to my state representative and senator.
Here is the last one I sent:
Date: April 16th, 2013
The Honorable Mike Kehoe
201 W Capitol Ave., Rm. 220
Jefferson City, Missouri 65101
Dear Senator:
I am writing in regards to HB436, and Senator Nieves companion...
