The linchpin is in those two Amendments, 9th and 10th. And then there's Article 1, Section 10 which says no States may form alliances, confederations, treaties.. or issue letters of marque and reprisals
Refusing to comply with Federal mandates which local areas believe to be wrong is as old as the U.S. Some say that the leftists "Sanctuary Cities" is a prime example. Nevertheless, the Whisky Rebellion is a good place to start but I think a better example is how most place in the North told the southern Democrats that they could take their Fugitive Slave Act and shove it where the sun don't shine.
Wrong or not, noncompliance is our only nonviolent way of fighting back.Refusing to comply with Federal mandates which local areas believe to be wrong is as old as the U.S. Some say that the leftists "Sanctuary Cities" is a prime example.

That said, I do find it amusing how those people who sing the praises of the Sanctuary City movement bang on about how the Second Amendment Sanctuaries movement is so very wrong because it's defying the FedGov. What's good for the goose and all...
I also find it amusing that so many of the people who were decrying the Sanctuary City movement are now balls-to-the-wall for the Second Amendment Sanctuary movement.

Visit Austin if you think Texas isn't going to be a blue state. Kalifornians have a record of taking their communism to other states. Oregon was a decent place at one time before they migrated there. Same with Washington. There needs to be a border wall around Kalifornia. They are very dangerous people. They created the mess but don't want to live in it. Look at S. Florida in the season. Not exactly a friendly place to be. Might as well call it "South Jersey". Just sayin'....
All the more reason conservatives/freedom loving Americans should consider moving to Texas or other States that are turning purple-blue. Is Austin bigger than Dallas-Fort Worth? My wife and I are looking at moving to either Texas, or Colorado in the next 5 years, based on the educational opportunities available for our deaf child. So far, Texas has one of the better deaf schools (in Austin though...) ; but Colorado has two deaf schools, one being a charter school that has a great youtube channel (Rocky Mountain Deaf School); in Denver however.. and CSDB in Colorado Springs... but Texas is also home to SouthWest Intermediate College for the Deaf.... in my research so far... pretty much 100% of the US deaf schools are in strongly Liberal cities... with most of the "top 10" being in very Liberal/Leftist States and then there's D.C. (Model Secondary School for the Deaf plus Gallaudet University).
Well, if it helps, the cost of living in Denver and Springs is out-f*cking-rageous and only climbing. Housing prices have doubled in the 5 years I've lived here. Fuel prices are higher than most of the country.
Housing costs here in Albany has been getting to the same level as Salem and Portland, which is a major factor in considering a move. Fuel prices here as well are now around 2.39 a gallon cheapest... vehicle reg fees are getting stupid because now the fee schedules are based on EPA estimates for 2000+ vehicles. There's also talks of imposing sales taxes and not reducing any other taxes. Companies are shutting down or moving out of Oregon.
Still shouldn't matter. At this point not complying or minimizing your compliance and monkey wrenching when/where you can is our only "peaceful" option.
