Topic: Tenth Amendment

Jack Blood reports on a Tenth Amendment Center press conference regarding state and local efforts to nullify the NDAA. He highlights Virginia and Washington state as leaders in passing legislation to criminalize federal attempts to detain citizens without trial. The segment lists various political figures, including Naomi Wolf and Bruce Fein, who are collaborating to resist federal overreach.

A caller lists specific legal violations committed by the federal government at Waco, including breaches of the First, Second, Fourth, Fifth, and Tenth Amendments. Jack DeVault agrees, adding that Sheriff Harwell of McLennan County failed in his duty to protect the citizens in his jurisdiction from federal overreach. They emphasize that federal agencies are not legally superior to local law enforcement.

The Supreme Court's ruling that the Brady Law was a Tenth Amendment infringement is discussed, with the hosts noting that many states and local police departments have chosen to ignore the ruling. They argue that local control is being subsumed by federal "thugs" and international banking interests. The departure of Austin's police chief, Elizabeth Watson, to join the federal government is cited as an example of this centralization.
