Yup. We should not even be involved in this big government socialist debate. Nuke the rules and do a full repeal with majority vote per the constitution!
Yup. Every unconstitutional federal act or law is invalid and should be nullified and rejected NOW by the sovereign states as demanded by the people of each state, and by the feds themselves whenever there’s enough pressure on them to finally get around to it.
Right now FreeRepublic looks a lot like what I imagine Congress looks like. We have one very vocal faction taunting, "Nyah nyah, told ya so! Trump was never going to do any of the things he promised. I was right, I win!"
We have another vocal faction saying, "Trump won't break any of his promises. He doesn't make mistakes (3-D chess). If he says the HFC is the devil, then so it is! If Trump wills it, then kill the HFC!"
Then I think we have a whole bunch of us, perhaps less vocal, watching with a great sense of anxiety and various degrees of foreboding.
I read this article from WaPo, posted on Mercury News, and it gave me a sense of what might be behind all of this internecine warfare happening at the top levels of this Administration. http://www.mercurynews.com/2017/03/19/inside-trumps-white-house-new-york-moderates-spark-infighting-and-suspicion/. It makes more sense than anything else I've read to explain what we're seeing.
I support your post on this thread, and I think we're in trouble.
