Supreme Court to 'top U.S. health official': "Opt this, beyyotch."
This is an entirely different situation, involving a law that the Federal government does not seem, in any way, shape or form, to have the authority to impose on the states. This is a reassertion of the Constitution, not a violation of it; the Constitution provided for federalism, not a unitary state.
You f-ing idiot, you wouldn't know the Constitution if it bit you in the ass.
GOD I HATE THESE PEOPLE!
Sebelius didn’t read. The bill won’t prevent Floridians from having access to the “new” health care, it just allows Floridians to opt out if they wish. They can still opt in.
I can’t see the SC ruling against free choice.
If you don’t know how to knit, learn.
That’s right, we all knew this was going to happen.
When this finally does come to push and shove it is ironic that it will be the mirror image of the Civil War. The federal government will attempt to enforce slavery on the producers and shore up the rights of the moochers. What kind of a moral clarion call is that?
States can’t defy federal laws? But if Philadelphia wants to deny its citizens the RKBA as written in plain English in 2A....why that’s a horse of a different color!
and California Week law....totally defies federal law
“..but they don’t get to opt out all of their citizens who want and need health care,”
Fair enough. Those who want it can sign right up.
It’s unrealistic to think that each state can decide how much federal authority it will tolerate within its borders. Ain’t gonna happen. The Congress itself can change the law, or the federal courts can overturn it. Ultimately, the voters can Just Vote Them Out.
“Won’t be permitted”? By whom? All those newly armed IRS agents?
We sure don’t.
“Civil War redux on the horizon, perhaps?”
One can always dream!
Problem is, the states are way too dependant on the feds as it is. All uncle sugar has to do is withould the funds for a while, and they’ll quickly fall in line.
I think the state know that too. This is just showboating on their part.
“DOWN WITH LIBERTY!”
“DOWN WITH RESPONSIBILITY!”

Sebelius is a notorious abortion lover, a close friend of the former Killer Tiller. I presume that’s why Hussein chose her as his Health Czar.
Abortion=Health, in their way of thinking. Nothing could be more important to your health than killing babies.
I don’t see where the conflict is....
Fla says you cannot force all of our residents to opt in...and Sebelius is saying Fla can’t prevent it’s residents from opting in.
“..in favor of a loose, and not very durable, confederation of states. Is that really what we want? “
Count me as a YES on that.
This Czarist regime considers the utterances of the oligarch’s agents as equal to Constitutional, didn’t ya know?
