But, if we have an illegal President, then there is no way that his signature carries any legal weight. Hence, as soon as Obama signs Porkulus, we should be prepared to react. We will not follow any laws that are not signed by a legal President. According to the Constitution, we are not bound to follow the dictates of a corrupt government headed by an illegal President who may be an illegal citizen as well.

He's already signed legislation: Obama Signs SCHIP. The legislation imposes stiff new tax rates on tobacco products, including an amazing 2000%+ tax increase on loose tobacco.

I would think that tobacconists, who I believe sell most of the loose tobacco sold, would have a very legitimate beef with this massive tax increase and should consider suing over the issue of the legitimacy of the Kenyan Clown's signature on the SCHIP bill.

The SCHIP bill would be a starting point, for sure, being the regressive sin tax that it is. Basically, every mutual stock fund, except the "socially responsible" ones, has a portion of it going to tobacco. This is the Democrat's version of the "broken window fallacy," that if a kid breaks a window of a shopkeeper and the shopkeeperhas to pay the glazier to fix it, then the glazier has money to buy break, and that provides money for the baker, and so on, until it makes the boy seem like a hero. In the Dem's version of this fallacy, taxing the tobacco growers will nullify the government subsidies, which will have to be increased to make up the shortfall, which will mean more taxes on the public at large, and will reduce the value of the stock funds and futures market, which will come back like a boomerang just as the tobacco industry is trying to avoid from collapsing. Now, if it does, will smash into the economy like a freight train hitting a golf cart.

Just another day in the life of the Managed Crisis Morons.
