What's the opposite of Nullification?
Several states are filing suits against the Infinite Profit For Insurance Companies Act (aka Obamacare). These actions fit the proper meaning of Nullification: these states are trying to free themselves from an oppressive Federal law.
But what do you call the Arizona immigration law? (Along with similar laws in Okla and other states?) These states are trying to free themselves from an oppressive Federal refusal to enforce the law. These actions are the opposite of Nullification, but we don't have a word for it. Maybe "Relegalization"? Clumsy.
Whether the Federal method is excessive enforcement or non-enforcement, the Federal goal is always the same: Exterminate America. This is, of course, the single and universal goal of all Federal officials in the last decade, and most officials in the last 3 decades.

Update: Jed Babbin has provided the perfect name for the Arizona-style action:
SELF-DEFENSE.
