“all the “authorities” claim that nullification is unconstitutional, obstructive, idiotic, moot.”

Not this nullification. Obamacare has already been declared unconstitutional.

I hear you.

That’s what’s particularly amusing about the law professors et al. sneering at the legislators for passing an “unconstitutional” nullification.

The damn health care law itself is at death’s doorstep already.

RE: Not this nullification. Obamacare has already been declared unconstitutional.


There’s still one hill to climb and ONE MAN who will most probably decide the issue ( His initials are AK ).

WHAT IF for some reason, Justice Anthony Kennedy woke up on the wrong side of the bed as Obamacare went to the SCOTUS and sided with the left wing of the court, declaring it CONSTITUTIONAL?

What can states like Idaho do about it given the past history of state nullification failures? (e.g. The Supreme Court in the case, Cooper v. Aaron, finding that the state governments had no power to nullify the Brown vs Board of Education decision, where in the 1950’s, at least ten southern states passed various measures preserving segregated schools and refusing to follow the Brown decision).

I hope nobody is talking secession ( as the states did during President Lincoln’s time ) because we all know how that turned out....(SHUDDER).

Odd...it was quite the popular topic among all those same liberal legal experts when "Boosh" was in office. (I agreed with them then, disagree with them now.)
