An attorney and former prosecutor KrisAnne Hall had been talking to Republican state Senator Don Gaetz about nullification, especially as it pertains to Obamacare. She even wrote to him explaining what some of the founding fathers believed about the subject to encourage him to support the action of nullifying unconstitutional federal laws.
In his response letter, he explained that he did believe that Obamacare was unconstitutional, and that he would continue to work to repeal and replace it with something else. In the second part of his letter, he recounted a story about President Andrew Jackson and the “nullifiers”:
“As to nullification, I tend to favor the
approach used by Florida’s first Governor, Andrew Jackson: It is said
that one evening, while he was president, General Jackson was
interrupted in his reading in his bedroom by an alarmed military aide
who breathlessly reported, ‘Mr. President, the “nullifiers” are in front
of the Executive Mansion with torches and guns. They are screaming that
each state has the right to decide for itself which federal laws to
follow. They threaten to burn us down if you will not agree with them.’
Without lifting his head from his reading, Andrew Jackson said, ‘Shoot
the first nullifier who touches the Flag. And hang the rest.’ Chaplain, I
have sworn an oath on my father’s Bible before Almighty God to
preserve, protect and defend the constitution and government of the
United States. And that’s exactly what I intend to do. Count me with
Andrew Jackson. –Senator Don Gaetz “
