U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions doesn't like nullification. He attacked the principles in recent statements about California's sanctuary state policies. In doing so, he sounded just like Rachel Maddow.

In this episode of Thoughts from Maharrey Head, I talk about it. I compare the ideas of Maddow and Sessions (there's not much to contrast), and I also take on the absurd notion that the Civil War "settled" the issue of nullification and secession.

The Republicans still haven’t gotten rid of Obamacare and they aren’t going to. But there are things going on at the state level that could eventually undermine and replace the federal healthcare debacle.

In this episode of Thoughts from Maharrey, I tell you about some exciting developments at the state level and share my personal experience seeking out alternatives to the unaffordable care act. You’ll be amazed at how much money I’m saving – for better care than I was getting in the insurance-based system.

A lot of people seem to think the Constitution is Silly Putty. They get to mold and shape it into whatever suits their political agenda. They are dead wrong. In this episode of Thoughts from Maharrey Head, I talk about it.

The school shooting in Flordia has reignited the debate about guns. In this episode of Thoughts from Maharrey Head, I wade into the fray and tackle a common myth related to the Second Amendment - this strange idea that it was never intended to allow people to own military weapons. Actually, that's exactly what it was intended to do.

Take a listen and I'll explain.

After a seven month hiatus, Thoughts from Maharrey Head is back with episode #100! You can visit the show notes page here: http://bit.ly/2H1QQ0G

We all have ideologies. They help us make sense of a complex world and provide us with a lens through which we can evaluate events. But ideologies can get us in trouble when we become unable to look outside of them. In this episode, I talk about the problems that inevitably crop up if you try to project your ideological point of view on the Constitution.

I also catch you up on what’s been going on over the last seven months and make an announcement about an exciting project I hope to release this spring.

In this episode of Thoughts from Maharrey Head, I talk about America's first immigration debate and what it reveals about federal power. To visit the show notes page, click here: http://bit.ly/2tQqjPi

Immigration ranks among the most contentious political issues in America today. Debates rage about “pathways to citizenship,” building walls and blocking refugees. But Americans often ignore the most fundamental question – who has power over immigration matters?

Arguments over immigration are nothing new. In fact, America’s first major immigration debate happened in 1798 when Congress passed the Alien and Sedition Acts. James Madison weighed in on the issue in his Report of 1800. His arguments reveal a great deal about federal and state power over regulating immigration.

In this episode of Thoughts from Maharrey Head, I highlight Madison’s thinking and what it reveals about the power of the federal government.

In this episode of Thoughts from Maharrey Head, I talk about how my Independence Day fireworks experience demonstrates the power of nullification. To visit the show notes page, click here: http://bit.ly/2tZFcjA

Despite all of the successes we’ve had at the Tenth Amendment Center over the last few years, whenever I talk about nullification, somebody wants to argue, “It will never work.” As these naysayers see it, the federal government is big enough and powerful enough to do whatever it pleases.

This simply isn’t true.

The feds depend on state and local assistance to do virtually everything they do.

In this episode of Thoughts from Maharrey Head, I share an Independence Day experience that demonstrates exactly how we can nullify government actions in effect and what a powerful strategy nullification really is.

In this episode of Thoughts from Maharrey Head, I talk about centralized government, slavery and discrimination. To visit the show notes page, click here; http://bit.ly/2txngwB

Conventional wisdom holds that national, centralized government protects the interests of minorities.

This is a myth.

In fact, the state has a long history of persecuting minority populations.

A recent trip my wife and I took to the Kingsley Plantation, near Jacksonville, Fla., underscored this fact. In truth, centralized power was necessary to maintain the slavery and to institutionalize racism.

In this episode of Thoughts from Maharrey Head, I talk about it.

This song was inspired by George Orwell's 1984 and a quote by Ron Paul.

In this episode of Thoughts from Maharrey Head, I talk about state action to undermine the Federal Reserve and the government's monopoly on money. To visit the show notes page, click here: http://bit.ly/2sKyPwT

Ron Paul mainstreamed the idea of “ending the Fed.” Even today, we occasionally hear about efforts in Congress to audit the Federal Reserve and perhaps rein in some of its power. But as with most things, we simply can’t count on Washington D.C. to fix a problem in Washington D.C.

Nevertheless, all hope is not lost. Several states are moving forward legislation that takes on the Federal Reserve and sets the foundation to undermine its power. If enough states act, it could even effectively nullify the Fed.

In this episode of Thoughts from Maharrey Head, I talk about these state effort and explain how a widespread shift to sound money could limit, or even nullify, the Federal Reserve.
