Tennessee State Representative Bud Hulsey has proposed a bill that would establish a permanent procedure for Tennessee to nullify all unconstitutional acts of the federal government.

Hulsey correctly insists that Tennessee — and every other state in the union — retains the authority to refuse to cooperate with any act of the federal government that exceeds the scope of its constitutionally enumerated powers.

Hulsey’s Restoring State Sovereignty Through Nullification Act — HB 0726 and its companion bill, SB 1092 — would bring every “past, present, or future” federal action under the scrutiny of state evaluation, with an eye on establishing whether the federal action in question is permissible according the authority granted to it by the states in the U.S. Constitution.

In reviewing a federal action, the state would consider “the plain reading and reasoning of the text of the United States Constitution and the understood definitions at the time of the framing and construction of the Constitution by the framers.”

An action deemed “unconstitutional” would be subject to nullification, and a declaration that the act is “null and void” in Tennessee would bar state and local governments from enforcing the nullified federal act.

Representative Hulsey understands the correct constitutional relationship between the states and the federal government.

The states created the federal government, set the boundaries of its power, and reserved to themselves all other rights not specifically delegated to the new federal authority. The contract containing the rights and responsibilities of the parties that created the federal government is called the Constitution. This act of collective consenting is called a compact.

This element of the creation of the union is precisely where the states derive their power to nullify acts of the federal government that exceed its constitutional authority. It is a thread woven inextricably in every strand of sovereignty. It was the sovereign states that ceded the territory of authority that the federal government occupies.

James Madison said it best in The Federalist, No. 45:

The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government, are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite.

Second, you don't need a jet, or nukes to cripple this country. An EMP would do it.

I'll address this first. Yeah, it would be a shitty week, no doubt. It wouldn't cripple the country permanently. And it wouldn't be the whole country. Long term damage is more effective. Blowing up 10 dams in 3 rivers would be substantially more devastating long term. Millions would die and the effects could last a decade. The West coast doesn't get shit without rail and the Mississippi mainly. West coast ports are generally consumer products. You guys cannot even collect the shitload of snowmelt you're going to get this spring.



This is where your food comes from. The river, rail or bridges get hit it's 2 years at least. An EMP would be fixed in a month. Timed right you don't have food for 1 year at least in my scenario. Quick damage isn't the best in war. Infrastructure.

First, what's the greatest threat to our safety and freedom? I don't mean hypothetically, I mean in our lifetime, who's done more to destroy our freedoms and enslave us? China, Russia, or the federal government? He who trades freedom for security deserves neither - Franklin.

China. Federal government doesn't move me besides taxes. I'm not enslaved to anyone. I literally do what I want when I want as long as it doesn't harm others (sometimes). Corporations are the bigger issue. I could probably count the hours on two hands that I ever followed covid mandates. The airport at TSA. I got bitched at once on an actual plane. Fact is everyone imagines they're being suppressed. That's because they want to be suppressed.

Have you ever told an "authority" to fuck off and just move along? Got caught with drugs and just ate it at the airport? Guess what, they don't do anything. No one does anything unless you're a famous person. Confidence is a thing. Most people don't have it.

I've told the story here. I demolished the side of a car with an unopened beer. Absolutely chucked it 70mph+. Cops interrogated my Puerto Rican neighbors for a half hour. Came over to the other neighbors where I was I and he asked me what happened. I said I chucked a beer at car because they almost ran over my kids. He was shocked. Thanked me and left. I destroyed an entire door panel on a car. Government is not out to get you unless you let it.

The common theme with people that bitch about our government is they're afraid of it. Or they don't have the legal means IF something were to happen. 99% of the time cops don't want to deal with shit. Regulations can be skirted/ignored. People are just too afraid.

But third, and most important to you. No war in history has ever been won, no territory conquered without ground troops. See Vietnam, or any of the wars in Afghanistan.

I've never been about "conquering" territory from another country. I want our country to have defense capabilities and also offensive capability. National Guard is part of that on a defensive end. You have massive bases out in CA. North of Tennessee we're on our own to the Canadian border. We don't need almonds. Corn, wheat and soy keep this country going. The Missouri and Mississippi river valley along with the IL river are what keeps this country going outside of oil and gas production.

At some point you CA sons a bitches are going to pipeline the Great Lakes and take our water. Maybe not in my lifetime, but it's going to happen. Or you'll move here and bring your bull shit. Honestly I'm beginning to think the greatest threat to America is California...

So how many people do you know who can draw clean water without working electric? How many trucks and trains contain zero electrical components? What about farm equipment? And I didn't come up with this threat in my head, I first head it from a retired general turned survivalist.

Then use 100% of the money you earn for yourself. Drive your car without a license or insurance. Drive in the Southwest without stopping at any checkpoints. Never wore a mask right? Get an operation while telling them you've never taken a Covid shot. Go to another country without a passport. Buy some drugs without fear of arrest. Buy an automatic M4 and ammo without ID. Only use real money that doesn't lose value by inflation. And probably most importantly, keep your life completely private. No images of you saved anywhere, no conversations recorded. No internet records of you in any NSA data center. You can do all those things right, because you're not enslaved.

So right off the bat, you missed the point. As long as we own guns, and know how to use them, no one is conquering the United States. If you want the standing armies, you need the central banks to fund them, and the slavery that comes with it.
