Expect more of this.

The states will not take kindly to 20% of their economies becoming federalized.

Virginia went one better. They passed a law that prohibits the Government from requiring their citizens to abide by the Federal HC mandate.

I was lucky enough to live in that fine state when I was a kid.

Good on you, Idaho! Don’t let these fools change you too much.

Then we'll have a nice little Constitutional crisis then, if the Idahoans make their law like a punching-bag clown, that gets right back up after it is struck-down.

Idaho’s standing up for her citizens! I can only hope Ohio stands up for hers too.
