Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) is going a step beyond simply pledging to fight efforts to pass the health care bill -- she's openly pronouncing that people should personally declare it unconstitutional and defy it, depending on how it ends up getting passed.
At a rally at the Minnesota State Capitol on Saturday, Bachmann declared illegitimate the potential route that House Democrats could take to pass the health care bill.

“short of armed rebellion. That is not an option anyone wishes to exercise.
“
It has gotten to the point that I prefer armed rebellion than the overthrow of our country by these Communists and having to live with it.
Btw, the Old White Guys, called the Founding Fathers, set up 3 branches of government to keep balance. Your premise that asking the Supreme Court to strike down something as unConstitutional is wrong is dumb. That’s the way it was set up. A balance of power. If this bill passes, Congress will have crossed the line. The Constitutional remedy is to have it struck down.
Good idea....can we get any takers for this action?
With all of the knowledge on FR, there must be somebody who would know how to organize it.
...because that has worked so well with Roe vs Wade, school prayer, etc...?
Your next post was even nastier.
Just post a picture with your thumb in your mouth next time & save us all the reading time.
And YOU complain about manners?! Pfffft!
All avenues, judicial, legislative and civil disobedience/non-compliance should be in play.
I know we have some lawyers on FR....maybe one of them would volunteer to organize this.
See the rest
That wasn’t sarcasm, that was evidence of your flawed logic.
Using a Constitutional remedy is not flawed logic.
Thanks for the ping!
Hmmm... you could be right, Baynative. As of today, I have no idea where Sarah’s going to end up in the near future...
Nullification.
If they ram this through. Re-christen the movement as "the Ronald Reagan Movement", from "Tea Party". And proceed in his memory.
Full Scale LEGISLATIVE AND IF NECESSARY TAX REBELLION.
Constitutional Restoration - Counter Revolution.
"It Can't Happen Here...Just Did".
Texas is preparing to put some teeth to our refusal...I only wish we could have gotten it done in the last legislative session...
Reacting is a poor way, but at least the attempt is going to be made, to protect our state from this un-Constitutional edict...
She (Bachmann) is right on the money with this...
You forgot common sense, since she is a CPA, IMHO they probably hate CPA's on Capitol Hill given they violate the Accounting Equation with impunity on a daily basis, and she is their to remind them of this transgression.
