A brilliant example of unintended cnsequences.
Can’t Congress make new federal immigration laws that would help our border states???
Off the health care topic, but along the same lines on how one could use the law to backfire on the Democrats:
Lord Monckton explains how someone could have standing regarding Obama’s eligibility if Obama has signed something as President and that law is being used to prosecute that person. That person would have standing to show that Obama is not eligible to be President; and, therefore, shouldn’t have been signing any laws.

Good point by Levin.
Except it’s the Federal government that would have to sue, and I don’t see a Republican POTUS DOJ having the guts to do it; and obviously Obama won’t.
then this would also undo 0bama’s recent executive order regarding 16-30 year olds?
Or at least make that EO highly changeable and give millions of American citizens standing and businesses as well?
"The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against invasion;"
Excellent!

It's not often you can hear a guy who is funny, passionate, intellectual, ultimate fighter fan, articulate, obsessed with the constitution, still says goodnight to his deceased dogs and can righteously rant about the Supreme Court ignoring his own argument in the case.
He doesn't just talk. He's very engaged.
Levin has a great point.
I believe Obama’s entire motivation is twofold. To get the illegal vote and create ANY diversion from the crap economy.
The more interesting question is not about sanctuary cities, but about what other state laws could be overturned using this logic.
For instance, it seems to me that the Fed has complete control over what drugs are considered legal via the FDA.
So it seems to me that it would be extremely easy to overthrow all the state medical marijuana laws. If fact, all state drug laws could be overturned on the basis that they have different penalties than the Fed laws.
