I agree with you. The Supremacy clause give the Feds this power. When Congress “moves into an area” overwhelmingly - the state laws are irrelevant. This is one of the reasons Wallace was wrong when he stood in front of that door. Whether we like it or not - this 2500 page monstrosity fits the description of “overwhelming” by every examination I’ve seen.

The limits Roberts put on Medicare funding are really irrelevant to the discussion.

This part of the cost of living in a Federal system where the other balancing clauses such as the commerce clause have become overly broad giving the Federal government license to move into every aspect of our lives.

I’m thinking Constitutional Convention is the only legal course now. States trying to nullify Federal law is what started the Civil War!

Obama refuses to obey the law.
Why should the States or anyone else then obey the law?
Obama has set the president for legal disobedience.

I think it means that obamacare will still exist at the state level, but the States can opt out of paying the premiums for the poor via Medicaid. That’s how it works for the poor who get Medicare anyway. Because of the ruling, States won’t have to pay that in obamacare.
