Republican Florida Senate President Calls for Hangings of Opponents?
The Tenth Amendment Center ^ | December 2012 | KrisAnne Hall

I met Senate President Don Gaetz after speaking to the Senate Committee on Healthcare Exchanges. I explained to him that I wanted to teach on nullification and why the Healthcare Act is unconstitutional.

This morning I sent him an email explaining the Founders’ position on State Sovereignty and nullificaion.

Does that means Don Gaetz is in favor of shooting the many Catholic Bishops and other religious leaders who have said that they will not comply with this mandate? Notice the double-speak in his email below. He affirms his support for the Constitution and then demonstrates his utter ignorance of its meaning and purpose.

Here is a copy of his email:

Thank you for your email and for your passionate views. Like you, I believe Obamacare is unconstitutional and wrong-headed policy. I have consistently voted in the Florida Legislature for legislation that affirms our state’s options, obligations and sovereignty under the United States Constitution. I am working every day to ensure the election of national candidates who will repeal and replace this extraordinarily bad policy.

As to nullification, I tend to favor the approach used by Florida’s first Governor, Andrew Jackson:

When you say such things, don’t be surprised when those people decide the same thing about you.

But they already have.

Plus he's a good example of why the government wastes so much money.

"Summarily shot and hanged"? One or the other is enough...you can't kill someone twice.

I wonder if he was the one who made the effort to successfully redistrict Allen West out of an easy win.
