Actually, there is another remedy. One that does not make us vulnerable to the total, absolute destruction of our Constitution in one fell swoop. The states can just say “No” to the federal government. States have this right – have always had this right – and it’s time they use it. This is a very simple answer to our dilemma. With our Constitution, the states gave limited, enumerated power and authority to the central government. They reserved to themselves and the people most authority and responsibility for governing. The fact that we have decades of precedent for federal usurpation of power does not make it lawful.

Refusing to accept unconstitutional mandates is known as “nullification” and you can learn more about it at these sites. http://tenthamendmentcenter.com/#nullification and http://publiushuldah.wordpress.com/

I really like the “Utah Option” above but there is no Constitutional basis for it. This would get rid of the unconstitutional governors in one fell swoop but save our government
