Idaho is leading the charge on this one.
by Neal Boortz
It has become the first state to approve a measure that would require the state attorney general to sue the federal government if it manages to pull off this healthcare stunt. So you may be thinking that Idaho has gone off the reservation .. think again. Similar legislation is pending in 37 other states across the nation. By my calculation, that would more than half of the states in this country that do not believe it is the role of the federal government to mandate that the residents be forced to purchase health insurance. Okay, so this may just be a symbolic move. But if the Democrats (like Steny Hoyer) don’t take that as a sign of disapproval, I don’t know what will get through their numb skulls.
There seems to be a growing trend – finally – of states asserting their rights and roles in relationship to the federal government and the Constitution. I’ve said for years that we need a Tenth Amendment Commission to re-establish the importance of the Tenth Amendment to our Republic. In fact, Thomas Jefferson and other founders believed the Tenth Amendment to be the most crucial aspect of the Bill of Rights.
My how the times have changed.
One warning though: As this movement progresses you will hear the term “states rights” thrown around. You might as well wave a red cape at a bull. Democrats will soon be “reminding” folks that “states rights” is nothing more than a euphemism for racial segregation … and is therefore a “racist” term. Sooner or later the Dems are going to start calling those who oppose ObamaCare racists.
Might as well start now.
