But what does it do? Can it stop the IRS from collecting a tax?

It’s funny if not sobering: The federal healthcare takeover was purely partisan, with opposition to it being bi-partisan.

You’re forgetting the veto pen that Obortionist will undoubtedly use.

Defunding the bill does not however remove the usurption of power the feds will take through its enactments.

As with the 18th Amendment and its repeal with the 21th, we still live to this day with not only organized crime but powers given to the FBI and Justice Department that directly came from enforcing prohibition, not to mention the ATF.

We can defund but without full repeal we are still faced with the Government having these powers which can easily be pulled out the next time the country looses its mind and elects the Dems into power.

The lying sack of slime O’Malley alleges that Obamacare will save Maryland $2 billion, doncha know. It’s gonna cost every other state billions but for some reason it’s gonna save money for us in Md. And more than half the idiots will believe him. These people have to be the dumbest people alive.

Fair enough.

For clarity, you mean a massive revolt AGAINST big gubmint?

I think mass disobedience is one of the tools that will have to be used. There may be consequences, fine. For me, better than living with repression.

“... Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace— but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death! “

Apparently trial lawyers and defensive medicine and the associated costs are just A OK because NOBODY IS EVEN BRINGING IT UP.

Good God, this is a tragedy in four parts ending up with end of the Republic.

WE BE IN ACT IV, JUST AXE THE PRESENT.

The states shouldn't have to push back. They own the place. The Federal government is our servant, not our master. We need governors who are leaders and who are willing to organize to reign in Federal power. Unfortunately, there are few American state governors with the IQ necessary to pul this off. Just look at some of these stooges...

I got to see Gov McDonnell last week as a guest in Larry Sabato’s intro to politics class and was truly impressed. This man has a gift for explaining the conservative viewpoint and is very engaging. The students asked poignant questions ranging from restrictions on gun purchases to offshore oil exploration and I think he hit most of these questions out of the park. His answers ranged from humor to intellectual argument and I felt like he was really connecting with the students. Sabato said McDonnell had the best sense of humor of any of the previous 11 govs he has hosted and the interaction between Sabato and McDonnell was very entertaining. I believe McDonnell definitely has what it takes to go to the national level if he decides to try.

Well, and just think. The IRS is going to say to a citizen of Virginia that they owe them money. The citizen will say no they don’t because of state law. Now if the corrupt courts then go and rule in favor of the feds, and the State backs down or does not protect...then MR citizen is stuck with the bill...Plus whatever penalties.
I am totally on Virgina’s side. I wish I knew how far they were willing to go(National Guard?) in order to keep the feds at bay.

I think http://www.ncsl.org/ has most of the info. It’s the National Council of State Legisltures or something like that.

Worth a bookmark. Hope that gives all the info.!

The Feds don’t, but the states do. At least the ones opposing this do.

The commies in Congress are getting a message they deserve.

A public stripping, and riding them out of town on a rail, might also be a good approach.
