Another new idea.

Your oath comes before obeying illegal decrees from dictators. In fact, start arresting federal employees who try to carry out the illegal decrees.

IMHO...

After Judge Vinson’s ruling, he should be undoing any efforts thus far and not implementing anything else in the most effective way possible. Then if SCOTUS reverses and says to implement, then he’d have to start implementing again.

Unless it would place a severe enough burden on the State of Alaska - I would argue that then he should never have started implementing any of it and resisted in every way possible, i.e., thwarted the law, because he would have a sworn duty to citizens of Alaska. What if Federal law were to impose a $100,000 per year tax on every citizen of Alaska ? That law would have to be resisted, as it would economically destroy the State. If it’s possible to implement and it’s law, then he has to implement, even though it was costly and unpopular. In that case, the citizens only recourse would be the next Federal election cycle.

I don’t know how severe the burden is on them.

So, essentially it’s going to come down to whether Justice Kennedy wants Obamacare to be the “law of the land”, as it’s pretty much a foregone conclusion which way the other 8 justices will vote.

"I'm caught between a federal government that says, 'You must pursue this, you must pursue this,' and I have the duty to uphold the rule of law," he said

Until another court says otherwise, Mengelecare is unconstitutional, and therefore must not be implemeneted.
How long could it take to figure this out?

"Parnell told reporters that he took an oath to support and defend the constitutions of the United States and Alaska."

The Governor is probably wishing he was a Democrat so he would not have to worry about the rule of law or any constitution! Democrats have it so easy.

Mark Levin covered this last night.

Under USC title 18 section 641 it would be a felony to use any federal money to implement Obamacare given the fact that it was VOIDED by a federal judge for being unconstitutional.

Hummm, I'm no Constitution scholar but this might just also apply to guy living at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. in Washington DC.

So, if this be the case, we can seek to impeach every state leader that attempts to enact Obamacare.

Bump and Ping!

TN’s AG is an obamabuttkisser.

Why would the governor need his permission? We now have a republican governor, and republican controlled House and Senate.
