South Carolina House passes nullification bill to make Obamacare a crime

[still_one]

The South Carolina state House on Wednesday passed a so-called “nullification” bill that is declares President Barack Obama’s health care reform law to be “null and void,” and criminalizes it’s implementation.

The South Carolina Freedom of Health Care Protection Act was passed by a state House vote of 65 to 39. The bill intends to “prohibit certain individuals from enforcing or attempting to enforce such unconstitutional laws; and to establish criminal penalties and civil liability for violating this article.”

The measure would allow the state Attorney General “to restrain by temporary restraining order, temporary injunction, or permanent injunction” any person who is believed to be causing harm with the implementation of the the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.

2. Just let the stupid fuckers secede.

Make them take Alabama, Kansas and other semi-secessionist backwaters with them.

3. One thing for certain, they are wasting their states money and resources on this garbage, instead of

actually helping their populous

4. I wonder who'll tell them they can't do this?

This would be South Carolina's THIRD try at nullification. I don't recall it working out for them the last few times, either.

5. The lunatic beat of the Republican Party continues to crescendo. They seem to be

totally clueless about their relationship with the American Government.

6. And the American people -- at least the majority of them. n/t

7. Please y'all send us a column of Yankees to our statehouse!

Horses, cannons in tow, unannounced. A little ridicule might do wonders.
