Congratulations to Malakoff’s Clint Stutts on getting his nullification bill filed. Nullification is the idea that states have the power to invalidate any federal law which the state deems unconstitutional.

The bill, HB 3785, was written by Clint, along with several others. It was filed by State Rep. Charles Perry last week.

I don’t know if the legislation will pass, but I know Clint put a lot of work into it, and just getting it filed was a huge step … so congratulations, Clint.

I wrote a story back in January describing the legislation and the reasons Clint is involved, which you can read here.
