"And because the Supreme Court and federal government will almost certainly not repeal Obamacare, the states should reject ACA as an unconstitutional federal act."

Patriots must wake up to the major problem of unconstitutonal federal taxes. As previously mentioned, the Supreme Court has clarified that Congress is prohibited from laying taxes in the name of state power issues, essentially any issue which Congress cannot justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers.

“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

Patriots must work with state lawmakers to put a stop to the tsunami of illegal taxes going to DC. The idea would be to kill illegal federal taxes so that the states would be able to find revenues to establish their own social spending programs, depending on what the legal majority voters of a given state want.

Not only do I see Obamacare as a wholly unconstitutional federal act, but it also looks like within Obamacare, you’ve got the feds commandeering state legislatures by ordering them to set up exchanges. This is one area of settled law even the Supreme Court agrees with: the Constitution gives the feds no authority to commandeer state legislatures telling them what to do.

Not sure if anyone has challenged Obamacare on those grounds. But, again, that would be trying to fix something that is wholly wrong to begin with.

Layer upon layer of federal acts that the states should find unconstitutional and reject. Nuke Obamacare.
