Understood. I was just making a point about some people's insistence that fedzilla would inflict war or use military force against its own citizens over a civil matter. I just astounds me that anyone posting here would believe such a thing in this day and age.
If the 36 States don't prevail in their lawsuit against Obamacare illegal subsidies, then they can just ignore the judicial ruling, much like Obamba does. Who is going to force 36 States to comply? The National Guard? I doubt it.
Your reasoning is airtight. If 36 states stood together and told the federal government to shove it, not a damn thing would happen. They would have successfully called Obama's bluff. He can't, and won't even attempt to bring over half the states under his dictatorial thumb by means of brute force.
He must depend upon the American people's adherence to the rule of law and respect for authority to force his will upon us. If he pushes beyond the point of our endurance to withstand his demands, then all bets will be off.
States' rights are building and I believe this is our last hope if they stand strong.
Even if the Supreme Court somehow twists the clear meaning of the statute and sides with Obama, I predict that most of the states who've signed onto the lawsuit will balk. Even if only a few do, Obama will be faced with what to do about it. I don't see any clear path to victory for him if even a few states stand up and say, "No".
One of Mark Levin’s Liberty Amendments is to empower the states, by three fifths vote, to override congressional statutes, executive regulations or judicial decisions.
Of course, we wouldn’t be having this discussion in the first place, nor would we stand at the edge of outright tyranny if the states didn’t boot themselves from the senate in 1913.
It is why an Article V convention to propose structural amendments is essential.
