- Our View: Va Overreacts to Letter to Editor
Laws born of fear should be treated as the, uh, illegitimacies they are - and none deserved that treatment more than the Alien and Sedition Acts. Congress passed them in the first decade of our nation's existence, and President John Adams signed them into law. The Alien Acts, among other provisions, allowed the president to deport any foreigner he considered dangerous, during wartime or peacetime. The Sedition Act made it a crime to "write, print, utter or publish" falsities critical of the president or Congress.

- Measures Stir Debate About Nullification ; House Bill Aims at Federal Rules.
JEFFERSON CITY -- The first bill approved by the Missouri House this year raises fundamental questions about the relationship between the state and federal governments. In the measure, called the "Big Government Get Off My Back Act," lawmakers embrace the doctrine of nullification, the notion that states have authority to block the enforcement of federal law. In a single sentence it brings to life 19th and 20th century politicians who both defied and upheld federal authority.
