Nothing is going to happen. The courts will simply dismiss it saying federal law trumps state law.
The fight is over.
This SC has done big things in regards to the 2nd amendment and campain finance. I suspect they will address at least some of this bill. They actually seem to be using the Constitution in their recent decisons.
The federal unemployment law, is a lot lower than a host of states, but the states higher unemployment prevails..why does not the federal law trump this I wonder..
Damn dude. It’s a good thing the founding fathers didn’t carry your defeatist attitude.
It’s not over until the American people say it’s over. This is clearly unconstitutional.
The fight is only over for surrender monkeys like yourself. You should be ashamed of your defeatist attitude, with you in charge th U.S. would have never been formed.
Federal law does NOT trump state law if the federal law is fatally unconstitutional, which the personal mandate IS IMO. One way or another the SCOTUS will rule whether the personal mandate is Consitutional, and it’s not.
The Federal Gov't can't force individuals to buy something.
And if that happens, the time has long since come for states to say, "Guess what, we don't care." It's time for we the people to say, "We don't care." We have been like frogs in a slowly heating pot of water for four decades. Now the water's boiling and if we don't hop out immediately, it won't matter.

To our Prez I say...
If we as private citizens of the United States of America are even willing to entertain the notion of the legitimacy of this legislation, and are too cowardly to accept the prospect of consequence of ignoring it on the basis of its violation of the enumeration of powers in Article 1 Section 8... then we must ask ourselves a penetrating question: Do we really deserve a free republic?
The Federal government cannot mandate that someone buy a product and if they don’t, fine and imprison them. This is not like SS or anything else that we have ever seen. Every resident of this country must buy government approved health care insurance. It is unprecedented.
Yeah, right.
I understand your frustration and feel it too. But this is not over unless we roll over and let them win. This is very much the time to stand up against this usurper and his minions in Washington and really begin to fight. I think, in a perverse way, obama has done us a favor...he has united and excited the “silent majority” in a way I have never before seen. If we stay strong in conviction that this bill (and others obama has planned) is unconstitutional, we can beat him and the other socialists in this country. If we concede, we lose outright without even a real fight. I don’t intend to give them that satisfaction! (maybe it’s time for a to watch Mel Gibson’s The Patriot again :-))
Here's a small amount of comfort: The USSC can say anything they want, but they have no power of enforcement. Yes, Obambi has such, but the if the States/People simply choose not acknowledge such bad USSC decisions and choose to follow the original intent of the Founding Fathers, we COULD prvail. It will take fortitude and possibly civil disobedience, which I've been promoting for some time.
Come and get me SS.
/sarc Yeah..that's why the Supreme Court eviscerated most of McCain/Fiengold and declared most of that law unconstitutional right?
The time for prayers and talking is over.
You’re right. That is what will happen. When this has been tried before it never works. If it worked then states could opt out of following Supreme Court rulings, etc. The Supreme court itself would rule against them. No question.

It does trump state law, if its constitutional.
