State legislatures openly defying Obama: "Lawmakers in 34 states, from both major parties, have now either proposed, passed or are in the process of enacting laws that draw a line in the sand on states rights, preemptively nullifying at least parts of ObamaCare.
From USA Today:
Earlier this month, Virginia became the first state to pass a law allowing its residents to opt out of the proposed federal requirement that everyone have health insurance, a key element of Obama's plan.
Legislatures in Utah and Idaho this month also approved measures limiting the scope of the proposed $950 billion health care bill pending in Congress.
A host of other state legislatures also are considering new laws and promoting constitutional amendments that would limit federal requirements. Most follow Virginia's lead in nullifying the mandate on health insurance...
...The state measures are likely to be challenged in court, setting up new legal battles over whether federal law can trump state laws.
As I have noted, even the Architect of the Constitution himself, James Madison, is on the record rejecting the left's outrageously dishonest bastardization of the Commerce and General Welfare Clauses--upon which the Democrats' entire legal argument for ObamaCare rests."
