Default Nullification

Defined.

Default Nullification is a state constitutional amendment or legislation that automatically nullifies all federal laws and regulations until said state's legislature can take up the issue to adopt, approve, and fund, or not. If adoption is not achieved, non-compliance (and non-funding) is the circumstance.

Default Nullification is a political trend developing in states across the nation in response to the rampant spending, corruption, and unresponsiveness found in Washington D.C. Enactment of this measure would achieve the following:

1. It would restore genuine Constitutional governance by requiring state legislatures to cease and desist in abrogating their Constitutional governing responsibilities to D.C.

2. It would require all special interests and lobbyists in D.C. to spread out over 50 different geographical locations across the country to petition citizens for favor and taxes.

3. It would promote genuine state diversity throughout the nation, thereby optimizing competition between states for the nation's citizens.

4. It would have the effect of defunding and reducing governing authority in Washington D.C.

5. Would offer the greatest opportunity for a permanent, constitutional "fix" for the Washington problem, as nullification is largely immune to Federal court rulings. States are not required to obtain federal court approval to enact nullification rights according to Article One, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution, and also of the Ninth and Tenth Amendments.
