Well just the fact that so many are becoming aware of the Tyranny in Washington is really good news. The totalitarians are beginning to affect the lives of more citizens in direct and diabolical ways. People are actually thinking of rebellion, secession, constitutionality etc. I predict the election next year will bring carnage and havoc on the Democrats. They are finally being exposed as Communist control freaks and it is not playing in Peoria. People no longer dismiss Ron Paul and others as Kooks. It takes time to undo 50 years of creeping Communism.
Yes, the people are waking up. Formerly apolitical friends of mine are starting to recognize what is happening.
Regarding this thread, no piece of parchment can preserve our rights. It was up to us to do so and we are very near failure.
Next year may be a blowout victory for conservatives. There may be time to save our once great republic.
I want to know what is constitutional about telling a private insurance company what % of premium is “allowed” to be spent on administrative cost. They will allow 15% of collected premium. 85% must be paid in claims. If claims are unknown how can a company figure this out? This is absurd and ridiculous.
I think it will be complete utter destruction for the Crats.
The only reason Texas doesn’t float away into the gulf is because Oklahoma sucks.
Maybe we can get our legistlature to follow suit.
I’m in OK today and tryin my durndest to drive south and get out.
I think I can see the Red from here.
All 50 states need to do this. The government should be prohibited from using taxpayer dollars to do anything the taxpayers do NOT want.
I’m a born-and-raised Texan, but if Oklahoma continues to display this level of guts and courage in their politicians, I may soon be moving north.
None of it is Constitutional.
The problem is that our form of self governance is suited only for a virtuous people. As Ben Franklin feared, we devolved over time into a debauched people suited only for despotic government.
We could do this in Tennessee if we mounted a campaign to ask Ron Ramsey to do it
Maybe there is a chance to stage a comeback. I hope so. If the Communist/Democrats can be defeated and replaced.
Just leave your Longhorns stuff in the River. But not in favor of Sooner stuff, we have too many of those losers already.
This is why almost every piece of legislate introduced into Congress opens with language stating is is implemented under the Interstate Commerce Clause, not the Supremacy Clause.
The ultimate Constitutionality is not does Congress have the authority to do something, but does that something constitute interstate commerce. Unfortunately, the SCOTUS has a history of deferring towards Congress.
The real Constitutionality test for ObamaCare will be if Congress has the right to demand an individual purchase something or otherwise have a tax levied.
There will likely be multiple 14th Amendment Equal Protection Clause challenges to ObamaCare.
Texas has sure been taking a back seat to Oklahoma lately.
We need to light a fire under our State Reps.
I predict we will see more of this. There are people in Missouri pushing for a ballot measure like this as well.
However, doesn’t federal law trump state constitutions? How can Oklahoma get away with doing this? There will be a lot of lawsuits.

Rather a depressing reply in that I can’t poke holes in it.
You make a strong argument that I’m not qualified to challenge. I don’t see a reasonable objection to be made.
And so it goes, the federal government able to enslave us at will.
