Platform of the Texas
Libertarian Party: Plank on nullification
Plank originally proposed by Jon Roland, 2012/4/25:
2. Nullification Commission Amendment
2a. Libertarians support an amendment to the Texas Constitution that
would establish a state grand jury, perhaps to be called the Federal
Action Review Commission, to hear complaints by state citizens of
constitutional usurpations by U.S. government actors, whose findings of
such unconstitutionality will require noncooperation with such
usurpation by any state agency, employee, or contractor, and authorize
compensation for private parties resisting such usurpation for their
costs to pursue a judicial remedy.
After some debate, version agreed upon by the Texas Platform Commitee,
with the support of Jon Roland, and adopted by the LP state convention,
2012/6/8-10:
III.1.c. Nullification.
Libertarians support nullification of unconstitutional federal acts by
all sworn to protect and
defend the Constitution of the United States of America from all
enemies foreign and domestic. Those
who can and should engage in nullification and interposition include
our Texas governor, legislature,
and law enforcement officials, and especially our constitutional county
sheriffs.
