12:22 PM (8 hours ago)Virginia's Attorney General rejects nullificationfrom SLMNews Blog by PalmettoPatriot'[Virginia] Attorney Gen. Cuccinelli, in private consultations with the Roanoke [Tea Party] group, agreed, noting how Southern states had unsuccessfully invoked the doctrine in the 1960s to resist federal civil-rights legislation."Interposition had a place in history, I told them, and it is not an exalted one," Mr. Cuccinelli said.




The federation, which ultimately nixed the interposition doctrine, plans to unveil its legislative agenda for next year at this weekend's convention. Topping the list will be a drive, also underway in a number of other states, to push a constitutional amendment that would allow states to overturn an act of Congress if two-thirds of states vote to oppose it.'



It is truly a shame that Virginians have such a spineless coward for Attorney General. Interposition could work if the States had the guts to try it and live without the Federal money that DC would surely take away from them for their audacity of asserting their right to self-government.
