On January 22, 1973, all fifty governors of the U.S. were confronted with the OBLIGATION to nullify an act of the federal government that was unconstitutional, oppressive, and murderous.
To this day, despite the deaths of fifty million people at the hands of the federal government, no governor has recognized any obligation to resist, let alone acted on it.
Sad as it to say but since this bill puts a giant hole in any pretensions the states have of balancing their budget they will seek a way out of it. Money trumps life. Its callous i know but it us what it is.
One or two states refusing to implement will bring down this house of cards. There’s already an uproar over the Nebraska provision and the chances of that remaining in the bill would seem slim.
What i want to know is what happens to the elected officials taking cover under a misused commerce clause? They are clearing grasping at straws and indeed must be aware of that themselves. How can they remain in office if they don’t know the law of the land? If they refuse to even give it anything but the most passing acknowledgement?
Because the people who will vote to re-elect them,
1. Don't know (or don't care about) the law of the land either.
2. Benefit from the tax money that the elected criminals pull out of OUR pockets and use to buy votes from people who are 'entitled'.
3. Have given up trying to get a fair shake out of the government, and benefit more from joining the gravy train than trying to stop it.
4. Are idiots. In a (brief) conversation, one such person said, "The failure of the democrats is their naivete in believing that people will not try to take advantage of the health care system."
How do you carry on a conversation after THAT comment?
The federal Real ID Act was nullified by numerous states.
It’s now returning as the radio tracking “Enhanced Driver’s License,” compliments of “see no terrorism, hear no terrorism” homeland security director Janet Napolitano.
It’s time to nullify nearly everything coming from these DC fascists. What’s king obuma going to do? March a brigade of bed-wetting New York metrosexuals down to Texas to hit the governor over the head with a purse.
Joshua Chamberlain left the Northeast 100 years ago and he ain’t coming back.

i was thinking more in terms not of being re elected but rather of being qualified.
Its obvious some minimal qualification should be necessary as well as the will to enforce those standards both before and after an election.
Simply raising money and knowing how to run a campaign or hiring someone to run it for you should not be all the qualification needed.
To save anyone from the need to throw in anything else,yes,citizenship proven needs be included as well. My point however is towards being able to ably fulfill the office to which one is elected. Being elected does not automatically demonstrate qualification. That’s the ass backwards system we have in place now.
As some others, I too am beginning to see some sort of states-based movement as a good way around much of the mess we're in.
BTW Jim, don't you ever sleep?
wow...hadn’t heard about that one. Thanks.

The average politician scored lower on this civics test than the average citizen. They are even more ignorant than we, the people.

No, he lives in those of us who prescribe to his philosophy. We just haven't quite reached the "flashpoint", but we may be getting close.
