A little something for your anti-Ernst kit.

Big Ed did an segment on this issue on his show thie evening and discussed it with Zerlena Maxwell. I think we should jump on Ernst for her pushing of nullification and wrong interpretation of the 10th Amendment of the Constitution.

Joni Ernst Has A History Of Advocating Nullification Of Federal Laws
Posted: 07/29/2014 4:16 pm EDT Updated: 44 minutes ago

WASHINGTON -- On Monday, The Daily Beast reported that Republican Iowa Senate candidate Joni Ernst once appeared to speak favorably of the concept of nullification.

"Bottom line is, as a U.S. senator, why should we be passing laws that the states are considering nullifying? I mean, that's bottom line, is our legislators at the federal level should not be passing those laws," Ernst said at a forum hosted last year by the Iowa Faith & Freedom Coalition.

The idea of nullification, which was popularized by pro-slavery advocates in the years leading up to the Civil War, holds that states may "nullify," or void, federal laws they disagree with. Such a move is impossible under the Constitution.

But Ernst's legislative record and prior statements on the matter suggest that she wasn't simply musing about an outdated legal theory. Rather, she appears to have been a proponent of nullification for years.
