A bill set for fast-track passage in the South Carolina Senate in January aims to eliminate Obamacare in the state. The law could become a model for other states fed up with the federal health-care law.
House Bill 3101, titled the “South Carolina Freedom of Health Care Protection Act,” passed the state House of Representatives last April by a 65-34 vote. The bill now heads to the GOP-controlled Senate with special-order priority, setting up the likelihood that South Carolina will become the first state to exempt citizens and businesses from all participation in the Affordable Care Act.
State Sen. Tom Davis, the bill’s sponsor who recently wrapped up study committee hearings for H3101 in Columbia, Charleston and other cities, says that the proposed legislation renders the Affordable Care Act void or inoperable through a handful of provisions...

“if they had to levy the tax on the state governments” . . .
YES! That is the way it should be! Well, not the fed levying, but the States providing appropriate revenues for the legitimate functions of the federal govt.
The Republic of these United States of America is the voluntary association of Sovereign States. So the Sovereign States should agree as to how, and how much, to pay for the services of the federal government they (the States) created, to defend and ONLY to defend, their COMMON INTERESTS.
The States should not be subject to their servant, the fed govt, DICTATING what their own citizens cough up to said servant — the federal level. Which said fed then offers to return some portion (after the fed overhead of collecting in order to redistribute), with numerous strings tied thereto.
The people are of the States, and to the States inheres the power of taxation, and should only provide to the federal level what they deem necessary for the legitimate functions the federal level provides to and for the several States.
Is this Ft. Sumter all over again. States Rights over a centralized messed governmental bureaucracy.
And he’ll be right if the state isn’t prepared to ignore a court order. If they do, it’ll set off an overdue process whereby states flex their muscle.
God bless and protect South Carolina.
Just as Thomas Payne wrote in The Crises, the Tories are unmasked. Just as he thanked Georgie Boy for exposing their Tories, we can thank 0.
The founders never intended for 5 judges to make the final determination what’s constitutional.
My guess is SC legislators and execs will get a call from the NSA saying something like this, “That’s a nice little bill you got there. Once the courts rule in unconstitutional, back off. We wouldn’t want your surfing habits to go public would we?”
The Supremes will say that they have no standing.
No. The enforcer is IRS. They will take your refund or later attach your paycheck no matter what you do to avoid participating.
The constitution is supreme. Not the feds. What the constitution says doesn’t change despite what 3 lesbians, a sodomite, and a crook say.
We Gots BALLS!

Thanks 2ndDivisionVet.
“Obama’s COURTS will throw it out, and then, they will DENY that anyone has “Standing” to sue over it.”
Yeh, the fascists feds can try that, but South Carolina has dealt with this kind of thing before.
South Carolina President John Rutledge in 1776 ordered the English governor of South Carolina and his court to leave the state. I see no problem with ignoring the bleatings of the federal fascists in black robes.
Must have sent it through the USPS.
“The more primary candidates, the better.”
Why do you think it’s better to have many primary opponents and go to a runoff, rather than unified opposition?
Won’t work. Obama’s COURTS will throw it out, and then, they will DENY that anyone has “Standing” to sue over it.
Pull an Obama - refuse to comply with the law.
The First Civil War swung the pendulum too far in the direction of federal power. With leadership from SC and a bit of luck, perhaps we can avoid (delay?) the Second Civil War and move that pendulum back into balance.
