Scott Horton Interviews Michael Boldin

Michael Boldin, founder of the Tenth Amendment Center, discusses Thomas Jefferson’s suggested response to government run amok: nullification. Nullification is a legal theory that a U.S. State has the right to nullify, or invalidate, any federal law which that state has deems unconstitutional. He also comments on the persistence of state medical marijuana laws despite federal government's outrage.

Susan Solomon

Global Warming Is Irreversible

Susan Solomon is an atmospheric chemist working for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Time Magazine has named her one of the Top 100 Scientists of 2008.
"People have imagined that if we stopped emitting carbon dioxide that the climate would go back to normal in 100 years or 200 years. What we're showing here is that's not right. It's essentially an irreversible change that will last for more than a thousand years," Solomon says.
