Repeating, it’s an end run but...if it works? You and I seem to agree on your other points, except I’d like to point out there was nothing at all civil about The War Of Northern Aggression.
I have asked this before and I will continue to ask it. If you can’t buy health insurance across state lines, it is clearly INTRASTATE COMMERCE. What Constitutional power does the Federal Gov’t have over INTRASTATE commerce? Unless the Supreme Court declares that insurance is a Consitutional right, the Feds have no role here.
IIRC, the South Carolina nullification issue actually preceded the Civil War, and revolved around a tariff that was imposed during the Jackson administration.
Nevertheless, it would be very interesting to see if the FedGov would really resort to armed force to force South Carolina to accept ObamaCare, should this nullification bill pass.
If South Carolina stood firm, I *highly* doubt that the FedGov would go that far. I can think of nothing more likely to provoke massive armed resistance nationwide, as well as massive insurrection within the Armed Forces themselves. More likely, they'll try to cut off highway funds or something.
“You and I seem to agree on your other points, except...”
That point was me anticipating what the MSM will say, for the record.
