Well I definitely liked what Sheriff Joe had to say, “I dont care what the Feds or Napolitano says..I don’t answer to the federal govt. I answer to the people who elected me. I’m an ELECTED Sheriff”.

He couldn’t have done better except to actually slap her right across the face! And those goons in Homeland Security are STILL investigating him at every opportunity. No doubt they will try the same with those conservatives who oppose them with amendments/bills such as this.

“Just how the hell would the Feds try to FORCE a state to adopt a federal law on mandatory health care?”

I sincerely hope Texas never bows down to those thieves. Nothing but a big ponzi scheme and now everyone knows it. No more secrets..everything is out in the open.

In January 2011, we will have a Republican Governor after eight years of doofus thanks to an Indy who ran. Mary Fallin will have served four years in Congress and served as our great Lt Governor before that.

With Mary elected, our legislature will have a friend in the Governor’s Mansion for the first time since Republicans took over both Houses and Oklahoma will be on the move.

We only need one state to actually pass an opt out ammendment to crash the Obamacare plan. Once the first lemming refuses to jump over a cliff, others behind him take notice, until they all come to a halt.

Oh wow....
It says , (basically), the Legislature may not require any individual to participate in any health-care plan......nor may it oppose any penalty or fine of any type for choosing or declining coverage or participation.......nor shall the Governor nor Dept of Health participate in the compliance with any federal law regulation or policy that would compromise the freedom of choice in health care of any resident in this commonwealth...this act to take effect immediately.......and there's more .

This is amazing..I didn't know...Dah ..and it was sponsored by rep. Baker in my hometown county!!!! I'm on this...

Umm, Huck, you are too wrapped in bad law. “Constitutional Law” in the decades since 1937 is a perverted rebuke to “Constitution Law” before that. The Founders did mean that Conress only had 18 specific enumerated powers. They did not write or intent a hyper-inflatable commerce clause. (Plus those law perverters all seem to have ignored Article I, Section 9, part 6, which is ALSO a commerce clause.)

“Implied Powers”! Yes but that’s just modern idiot’s Dicta.

Well, I sent E-mail and expect I’ll at least find out what the status is on Rep. Matt Bakers House Bill. Plus I’ll be calling as well.
But it surely is an opt out one, and prevents from inforcing on Pa. residents any mandated federal healthcare.

But how can a state interdict the Federal taxation and flow of state citizen dollars to FedGov for national health care or other proscribed purposes? To truly opt out, a state needs to prevent Obamanation from taking state citizen funds for a purpose that the state has determined cannot be mandated.

The sooner we get out from under the Constitution, the better.

To be replaced by Huck law? What form would Huck law take?

Were the Articles of Confederation written by your evil federalists?

Then why does Section II of the Articles of Confederation state, “Each state retains its sovereignty, freedom and Independence and every power, jurisdiction, and right, which is not by this Confederation expressly delegated to the United States in Congress assembled.”

Reads like the 10th Amendment, right?

Getting this on the ballot will be great ... let’s see how many turn out to vote, and what the political spin is. A huge turn-out with a lopsided victory will send a message across America ... a message more potent perhaps than arranging the chairs for the follow-up WWF supreme court fight.

I hear rebellion in the air ...

That's funny. You should read up on "commerce clause" jurisprudence

Silly strawman argument tossed in with insults to screaminsunshine. There are delegated powers. Period.

Every one of our congressmen/reps/president take an oath to support and defend our Constitution. They are just as responsible to our Constitution as the courts. That our reps lie when take the oath and ignore the Constitution is not the fault of the clear language of the Constitution.

With what would you replace our Constitution?

Huck's life revolves around the daily abuse of our Constitution.

I've asked him for weeks with what we should replace our Constitution.

It must be miserable to hate the foundation of one’s country.

The right to rebel is not guaranteed.

You contradict our Declaration of Independence. ". . . that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it . . . "

You reject our Constitution daily. Do you now reject the Declaration?
