A whiff of secession and nullification

A whiff of secession and nullification: "'The only remedy,' says Prof. Livingston 'is territorial division of the Union through secession into a number of different and independent political units.'

'The current central government of the United States hates inequality, but it also fears the people,' says Prof. Livingston, noting that 'There is no law an American State can pass that cannot be overturned by the arrogant social engineers of the Supreme Court who in the last fifty years have played with the inherited moral traditions and federative policy of the American people like a quack with a hapless patient.'

'Constitutionally, this means that the States must reassert their sovereignty under the Ninth and Tenth Amendments and recall those powers they have allowed to slip out of their hands to the central government.'"
