Actually this is not nullification. The bill does not declare the ACA null but rather uses South Carolina’s own sovereign authority to impede its implementation.
I reiterate my occasional comment that, if this were a GW Bush law (regardless of the societal ill it purported to solve) and a state like MA or NY opposed it, the media would be marching in parades to praise the plucky courage of ‘freedom lovers’ in those sickly blue states protesting against Bush’s oppression. Lefty columnists would (re)discover their love of states’ rights.
It smacks of nullification and we remember what happened the last time SC implemented nullification, don't we.
How do you think Obama would respond to such a monumental display of disrespect?
that is what I thought. What then are the practical and legal implications between “Nullification” and “Impedance”?
Tomato, tomota but agreed the end result is the same no matter what it is called.
