Podcast Episode 268: Does Nullification Naturally Lead to “Civil War?”

Michael Vlahos argues at The American Conservative that “civil war” is the natural result of two competing “legitimacies” slugging it out for control of the same government. This I agree with. But he falls flat when he suggests that this has occurred twice in American history and when he considers nullification to be a root cause of such conflict. I was disappointed with this article to say the least, so I discuss it in this episode of The Brion McClanahan Show.
