From @carmitage.bsky.social : > The federal government's ability to function depends…on state cooperation. > History shows us exactly how this works. In 1832, South Carolina nullified federal tariffs. Jackson threatened military force. S Carolina prepared its militia. Jackson blinked. 1/3
> Article VI of the Constitution requires all officials to swear an oath to the Constitution itself, not to any president. Violating this oath constitutes a crime under state law…These are state crimes. Presidential pardons do not apply. 2/3
It would be good to see you more active here
