The bottom line for me is that no matter what, states should refuse to implement Obamacare. It’s fine to hope for Obama’s election defeat, but no matter what, and no matter when, if push comes to shove the states must refuse to implement.

Already the feds have given hundreds of waivers for Obamacare to favored groups.

If everybody doesn’t have to suffer from Obamacare, then nobody should suffer from it.

Apart from its breathtaking unconstitutionality, if laws are to be selectively and unevenly and unfairly enforced and implemented, then those of us who weren’t so favorably treated must refuse them.

States can also refuse it under the banner of religious freedom. Any state that implements Obamacare will be complicit with its attack on religious liberty under the Constitution.

There are many grounds, but that’s one of the strongest.

I totally agree with you.

Its time to throw down the gauntlet.

Either patriotic Americans take action NOW, or will loose America to Marxists, Atheists, Muslims and Statist progressives.

I’m still waiting to see what “Wonderboy” Chris Christie does here. I’m fairly confident that this posterboy for Northeastern RINOs will implement Obamacare in New Jersey.

I wonder what Ann Coulter will say THEN?

“If everybody doesn’t have to suffer from Obamacare, then nobody should suffer from it.”

We can give ourselves a waiver and assure the gov’t that we will forcibly resist if they decide to resent it. Wouldn’t be hard. Wouldn’t be any fun but it wouldn’t be hard.

What you are describing is called nullification and is a strong assertion of state's rights doctrine. There is a clear potential for a Constitutional crisis unmatched since 1860 emerging here. Jefferson Davis in his exhaustive treatment of state's rights and the right of secession in the first volume of his memoirs of the WBTS opined that the Constitutional issues which were embedded in the causes of the war might well reemerge in the future over another set of issues and circumstances. That day may well be approaching, especially if the Mahdi is reelected.
