A frontpager yesterday talked about the nullification initiative in the AZ Senate.
While I more than agree on the importance of the matter discussed, I think that the author takes a wrong turn in characterizing this effort as a move towards secession. It may be rhetorically effective, as a form of invective, to tar these people with the brush of something as deeply discredited as secession. But understanding what they are up to, in my mind, easily takes priority over insulting them. And we risk misunderstanding the most dangerous possibilities inherent in the ideas the AZ Senate is playing with if we imagine that they are up to some secessionist gambit
