Is Now a Great Time to Nullify the Federal Government? I Ask the Tenth Amendment Center's Mike Maharrey

What Then Must We Do?

There has never been a period in my own lifetime when American people have had so little trust in, or regard for, the nation's government. Witnessing the events of the past four-plus years – or indeed, the past couple of weeks – one might rightly declare that we have reached peak clown show in the realm of governance.
So is it time to just cut it loose? Would it be better for states to simply go their own ways, and let the feds continue to flounder? And if so, what are the mechanisms by which they might do this? Would such a move require outright secession, or violent revolution? Or does the very law upon which the nation is founded allow for it?
I pose these questions to Mike Maharrey, National Communications Director for the Tenth Amendment Center.
Mike is also a reporter and analyst for Money Metals.
