Regardless of the outcome I love being a South Carolinian.
I suppose you haven't hear of Common Core, yet?
Federal Government control over local curriculum
There are tons of links, but that might get you started.
My point being that obama’s final (non-lethal) weapon will be to allow the dollar to crash, thereby ushering in hyperinflation and deep depression.
This is not a reason to be deterred, but another eventuality that must be prepared for. At least the way I see it.
Hearing of this I am so proud to be a South Carolinian. Right now I’m visiting my Mom in Tennessee, where they might do something similar, and my wife who is from Kentucky tells me an anti-Obamacare measure is brewing up there in Frankfort.
This region is truly God’s country!
I remember when we had the rule of law; I guess that means I'm getting pretty old.
Article VI, chapter 2, of the Constitution is pretty clear on this point.
If the Governor signs it AND enforces it, that will be two branches of government against the courts.
Is anyone in the legislature in North Dakota moving on this, I wonder.
It’s about time we had governors who do more than ASK SOMEBODY ELSE to do their jobs, and then fold up when the other people don’t. I’m thinking of Jeb Bush, whose job it was to save Terri Schiavo’s life, and when the other people he asked to do his job didn’t do it, curled up in the fetal position in the governor’s mansion.
It’s hard for decent people to fathom the depths of his petulance.
They can and have in the past, and constitutional crises related to it were averted over this through negotiations etc but this was a contributing part to what lead to the Civil War. We are at the end of the day a federation of states, each state is independent and the federal government while stronger than that of the articles of confederation is not almighty.
States by the constitution do indeed have the ability legally to nullify the enforcement of federal laws within their borders, provided such laws are not explicitly within the powers of the federal government within the constitution.
How this is generally worked around is that the fed will withhold monies if the states don’t enforce the laws, but states for the most part can indeed nullify federal laws if they choose to.
“fed will withhold monies “
exactly!!
which is the money of the People of the Several States to begin with!
the Several States should not have to beg to get some back of what their own citizens have sent in . . .
. . . it is OUR MONEY! It is not “federal” money . . .
If I were in O's cabinet, I'd pressure the insurers who operate in multiple states. I'd threaten their operations outside of SC. I bet that's what they'll do.
So where is this “fast tracked” legislation?
