(It likewise lead to South Carolina`s ``nullification`` of the Force Act which set legal precedent for the concept that States could nullify laws by the Federal Government within their borders, thus arguing the primacy of the States.) <BR/><BR/>Had Jackson not dealt with this situation militarily, we probably would not have had the War Between the States.<BR/><BR/>On the subject of nullification-did you see that Rhode Island is issuing a nullification of the Supreme Court ruling on medical marijuana use? Will George Bush march on Rhode Island?Timothy Birdnowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17193888082216045778noreply@blogger.com
