DeMint And Bachmann Call On States To Collectively Fight ObamaCare If Passed | TPMDC

DeMint And Bachmann Call On States To Collectively Fight ObamaCare If Passed | TPMDC: "Here's another fun detail from last night's Americans For Prosperity teletown hall, which featured Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC) and Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN). Both politicians said that if a health care bill passes, it should be actively fought and resisted through a collective effort of conservative governors.

A caller asked DeMint what the states could do in order to stop unconstitutional action by the federal government on health care. DeMint replied, 'I think the key to pushing back against the federal government is some governors and state legislators who champion individual freedom.'

DeMint said he would love to see states go to court to invoke the Tenth Amendment: 'If we had some states come together and say the only way to save this country is to push back.' He also added: 'I think you'll see some states say no more, we're not going down with the federal government.'"
