Nullification is unconstitutional, as was determined long ago. I support the doctrine of subsidiarity: that which can be taken care of at a lower level of government, whether municipal or state, should be, the bar to refer questions to the next level should be high. However, it is a matter of judgment, and I agree that some adjustment to economic realities would have diluted States' Rights anyway......

This is exactly what I would seek -- and what the many of the Founding Fathers envisioned. In fact, the scenario you outline DID exist during the period of time when some states found slavery to be legal while other states found it to be illegal.

While the doctrine of states' rights -- taken to an extreme -- might enable a conservative state, for instance, to ban abortion, it also would allow a liberal state to nullify a national ban on abortion.
