27 states are suing over ObamaCare's requirement that individuals buy insurance.
And nearly a dozen are considering nullification...
Republican lawmakers in nearly a dozen states are reaching into the dusty annals of American history to fight President Obama's health care overhaul.They are introducing measures that hinge on "nullification," Thomas Jefferson's late 18th-century doctrine that purported to give states the ultimate say in constitutional matters.
GOP lawmakers introduced such a measure Wednesday in the Idaho House, and Alabama, Kansas, Maine, Missouri, Montana, Oregon, Nebraska, Texas and Wyoming are also talking about the idea.
Nullification, if found valid, could put a brake on the expansion of our federal government. It would be nice if we could find strength there, but when not even the Tenth Amendment can be recognize and those who have the temerity to point to it are demeaned as "tenthers".....
