NullifyNow! comes to NHby: Mike EmmSun Mar 06, 2011 at 12:08:44 PM EST |

( - promoted by Jennifer Daler) One of the big themes in Concord this year is Nullification. We've seen the crazy bills introduced to nullify some or all of the federal government's authority: everything from making it a crime for TSA staffers to do their job at Manchester airport to arresting federal officials for enforcing gun laws or healthcare reform legislation. But Nullification comes of age on March 19 at the Nullify Now! conference at SNHU, where speakers will give "the logical, moral, and constitutionally sound case for nullification". They sponsors, who include the Koch Brother's Americans for Prosperity, are promising an interesting cast of speakers for the conference. There will be Dan Itse, chair of the NH House's Constitutional review committee. He was a given. Also, Jack Kimball, GOP chair. And wonder of wonder, Speaker O'Brien will be taking time off from focusing on the budget and state deficit to speak about the joys of telling Washington to go to hell. A wild time is promised for all. There ought to be a price paid for this sort of misbehavior, but with the state's newspapers essentially ignoring it, there doesn't appear to be any. |
