Circular Problems

• Many Nullification efforts require some kind of voting, usually at the state level, through propositions, or State Legislatures, so:

  • ACTION/COUNTER: Fix Election Integrity

• Nullification usually requires judges to uphold the Constitution, which sends us back to the courts via:

  • ACTION/COUNTER: Personal Lawsuits

  • ACTION/COUNTER: Writ of Mandamus

  • ACTION/COUNTER: Writ of Quo Warranto

  • ACTION/COUNTER: Impeach Judges, and other Officials

• But we can’t get enough honest judges to uphold the Constitution to remove the same judges that violate the Constitution.

  • This means we have to involve legislatures to make it easier to impeach judges, and Sheriffs to make arrests for fraud and corruption without needing a judge.
