Re emergence of states' rights movement ?

As a result of financial crisis and the federal government response:

New Hampshire Throwing Down the Gauntlet to the Federal Government

(from Jesse's Café Américain)

"a copy of House Resolution 6 being discussed by the New Hampshire Legislature....

That any Act by the Congress of the United States, Executive Order of the President of the United States of America or Judicial Order by the Judicatories of the United States of America which assumes a power not delegated to the government of United States of America by the Constitution for the United States of America and which serves to diminish the liberty of the any of the several States or their citizens shall constitute a nullification of the Constitution for the United States of America by the government of the United States of America. Acts which would cause such a nullification include, but are not limited to:

I. Establishing martial law or a state of emergency within one of the States comprising the United States of America without the consent of the legislature of that State."

Very interesting...nullification was at the core of the Confederate secessionist doctrine.
