I have good news and bad news.
The good news is that the folks over at Bill Moyers’ website have discovered the Tenth Amendment Center.
The bad news is that their research apparently stopped at the name.
Moyers associate and historian Bernard Weisberger recently published a piece on the Moyers and Company website decrying the recent explosion of state-based resistance to unconstitutional federal legislation. Weisberger’s work is a maddening combination of the partial recognition of the value of federalism and ignorance of the recent and distant history of state’s rights, which is particularly unacceptable for a professional historian.
The most easily refuted of Weisberger’s claims is his implication that nullification in general and the Tenth Amendment Center in particular are partisan in nature. Weisberger states that nullification “has as much to do with who holds the reins at a given moment as it does with the theoretical embrace of the separation of powers.”
