I'd be careful not to stir up Obama's base, in these battleground states, or at least wait to commit until after the November Election..

I believe the administration would welcome the controversy to help get his people motivated to vote this cycle..

I disagree. If the Republicans appear to be cowering the conservative base will stay home.

Instead of trying to be cute about it they should just do the right thing.

Frankly baring a disastrously wast-full federal spending requirements(which are sometimes the case) this is of little long term significance. The problem is Our people will be forced by lawless(boundless) washington to finance the socialist services of other states. That fact alone will tend to force compliance.

Red states will mostly opt out.

Blue states will tax you and penalize you for acts of resistance.

Pretty soon all blue adjoining states will have fences to keep the people leaving like the Berlin Wall.

We are where we are because "Conservatives" have continued the failed "tactics" of appeasing and trying to not "upset" the Left.

The Left will find a way to make up "controversies" no matter what the Right does.

This lifeline thrown out by SC my be the death knell of the ABA. It is not the extra 10% that the Feds might have to pay for covering the working poor or preexisting conditions, but that forcing these folks upon private carriers will put insurance prices through the roof. No expanded Medicaid screws their numbers really bad.

FYI — The editorial section of the Boston Sunday Globe was remarkably void of any commentary about the Supreme Court decision on Obummercare. Silence.

Much of the country is howling about Justice Roberts’ strange call, but not the Globe, which often reflects the prevailing opinion in the Progressive corner.

How very interesting.

Change "marijuana prohibition" to "Obamacare" and we have a winner...

"Just as the process of repealing national alcohol prohibition began with individual states repealing their own prohibition laws, so individual states must now take the initiative with respect to repealing marijuana prohibition laws."

I had to go back to the Ginsberg dissent and it is still not there. Roberts' four buddies specifically set out in the dissent that their concurring opinion on the pernalytax issue that let Obmacare stand DID not concur as to the states opting out. They specifically state in their dissent that once the Obamacare passed muster, the Feds can do as they want - including withholding monies from states to force compliance.

This opt out “finding” being reported is bogus.

The republican Governors are just making sound good noises. The state provisions do not have to be implemented until 2014. They are banking on a new regime before then as well as banking on this “new” regime not doing the same thing as Obamba.
