The only option left is:

STATE NULLIFICATION

Think about it. What if just (3) State Governors told DC to pound sand regarding their Healthcare mandates? What would DC do?

1. Send in the National Guard or regular Army? Not likely in this day. This is not the 1860's;
2. With hold Fed funds? Maybe. But the rebellious States could with hold their tax receipts to the Fedgov;
3. Lawsuits by the Fedgov? Okay, then a given State could get a restraining order to postpone Obamacare.

Other than the above, what exactly could DC do? I say those wimps in Washington won't do anything, other than maybe file lawsuits. That would be a good thing. The 9th and 10th Amendments' intent would finally make it to the USSC.

If the Supremes ignored all the writings of the Founding Fathers regarding States' Rights and Numerated Fed powers and erroneously determined that Congress has the right through the abused "commerce" and "welfare" clauses, then the States can still NULLIFY! What could DC do if just a few States held their ground? I say that DC would back down.

I like it -

Perry of TX has been in the news with attributions of succession - he might be game.

Sanford of SC has made a mess of his situation, but might be willing to act while he's still in place...

Who else? Do any other states’ Freepers have a sense that their governor might stand up to this obamination? Would enough of us take the time to begin organizing such an effort for our states?
