Is there any real chance that this approach could work in the end, or is this just a delaying tactic? Delay is good. But I think the federal courts will squash these state laws. Why have no states opted out of the federal income tax, or selective service etc? I think it will take a constitutional amendment to get these tyrants to back off.

I don’t know. We will see. One thing is sure; America is hopping mad now. If they pass this the coming weeks will only intensify that as people really find out what it is and how they rammed it through.

Good question....All the feds have to do is to threaten the witholding of federal dollars,ie highway funds,etc until the states drop their suits....checkmate. We are not dealing with rational adults.

Both the income tax (a curse on the “Progressives” from the 1890’s to the present) and selective service are part and parcel of powers granted by the states to the Federal government under the Constitution. Requiring people to buy a service—health insurance—that cannot legally be sold across state lines is not, not even by the most generous interpretation of the interstate commerce clause.
If we do a constitutional amendment, though, can we fix the interstate commerce clause in the process so it means only what it says, not what the courts have expanded it to?
