Nullification Makes a Comeback | Mother Jones

Nullification Makes a Comeback | Mother Jones: "Republicans are refusing to allow votes on President Obama's nominee to head the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and on his nominees to fill vacancies on the National Labor Relations Board.

In the case of the CFPB, it's because the law that created it gives certain powers to its director, and without a director those powers can't be exercised."
