I saw where there were 38 states going to do something about this...

and I also saw something that 38 states could do a Constitutional amendment

37 or 38 state legislatures are trying to pass laws to protect their citizens from obamacare...And 2 or 3 state Attorney Generals say they will file suit if the HCR bill passes, that’s FL, VA, and -????Can’t remember the 3rd one. If anyone knows differently, let me know, but I believe the AG actions are separate/in addition to the state legislature actions. Be nice if at least 40 states try to opt out, and 40 AGs file suits. I believe both VA and FL say they will file their suits the day after the HCB passes.

Definitely a bad idea to do that with the politicians we have ‘representing’ us right now.

Kansas had an article today about wanting on board with the other states fighting this.

I believe it requires 2/3 of the states to convene a convention to propose amendments and then 3/4 of the states approval for an amendment to become a part of the constitution. A real high hurdle to overcome but possibly it is time to try.

That’s right. 38 is the magic number for the Codification and Constitutionalisation of the so-called ‘Nullification’ doctrine as embodied in the Kentucky-Virginia Resolutions.

That’s the real Holy Grail that wipes out ALL of the Progressive legislation of the past 100 years.
