Thomas E. Woods, Jr.'s new book 'Nullification: How to Resist Federal Tyranny in the 21st Century' (Regnery) is climbing rapidly in sales.The new book ‘Nullification: How to Resist Federal Tyranny in the 21st Century’ by Thomas E. Woods, Jr. was technically released on Monday, but it’s already climbed to the top of amazon.com listings, sitting happily at #37. The book apparently has tapped into the national psyche, touching a nerve with centrists, conservatives and libertarians who believe the federal government has exceeded limits established by the US Constitution.
The New American explains the thesis in an excellent review: “Nullification is an indispensable book about what could become the most effective means of stopping an out-of-control federal government: nullification. ‘Nullification’ is simply an act by states (and occasionally individuals) to resist unconstitutional federal laws. The term ‘nullification’ was coined by Thomas Jefferson in his 1798 Kentucky Resolutions that protested the Alien and Sedition Acts' unconstitutional criminal ban on criticism of the President.”
