This is VERY exciting news and we certainly need that right about now.

Could someone explain to me how this will work? I thought with the Supremacy Clause that federal law outstripped state law??

To paraphrase

Under the US Constitution - powers not specifically granted to the Federal government by the states are “reserved” to the states “and the people”

There are various grounds as to why obama-care could be ruled by the Supreme Ct to be unconstitutional

One key element is the “commerce clause” that the feds use to ram down edicts - in this instance under obama0care they are attempting to require by law that every citizen must purchase a “private’ health insurance policy (ones that only they rule as “acceptable”)

Failure to buy such am “gov’t approved” policy under obama-care will result in the IRS imposing on individuals and families an annual fine of up to $2,250 or 2% of your income (which ever is greater)

Also under obama-care, insuring the “poor” is accomplished by forcing states to enroll millions more new people into state taxpayer funded “Medicaid” - adding 100s of millions in unfunded state mandates to taxpayers - again unconstitutional

Greg Abbott and other state AGs plan to sue the Federal Gov’t in Federal Ct - ultimately to be ruled on by the Supreme Ct as to the constitutionality of obamacare

Action by the states is warranted because the HC bill is unconstitutional. It is an unfunded mandate on the states and their citizens

The states have the right to call a constitutional convention.
