Does this mean that progressives now support nullification?

How many of you missed this story? EPA overrides Congress, hands over town to Indian tribes

Here's the first paragraph:

Have you heard the story of the residents of Riverton, Wyo.? One day they were Wyomingans, the next they were members of the Wind River tribes — after the Environmental Protection Agency declared the town part of the Wind River Indian Reservation, undoing a 1905 law passed by Congress and angering state officials.

But here's how I read it:

Have you heard the story of the residents of Riverton, Wyo.? One day they were Wyomingans, the next they were members of the Wind River tribes — after the Environmental Protection Agency declared the town part of the Wind River Indian Reservation, nullifying a 1905 law passed by Congress and angering state officials.

Its not that progressives oppose nullification. What progressives oppose is nullification which originates from the states. This story explains how the EPA has expanded its power, and centralized power is the modus operandi for these people. The more centralized, the more the voters have nothing to say about it, the better. It's in their history.
