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).

No,we should be talking “peaceful separation” like the kind that occurred in Czechoslovakia.

It’s hilarious how the MSM keeps referring to Kennedy as a “conservative”. This is a typical PC manuever to push the definition of “conservative” farther to the left so that they can marginalize real conservatives as “extremist”.

Kennedy wrote the majority opinion on a couple of activist left wing decisions. One was a “public domain” case that necessitated an whacky off-the -wall piece of word bending. This resulted in some poor slob’s house being handed over to a developer. Another wierd opinion he wrote decreed habeas corpus rights for foreign combatants, against extensive precedent, and contrary a law that was recently drafted to specifically to clarify this issue.
