rectilinear motion

Well folks, the states of Virginia( attorney general) and Missouri( thru ballot initiative) will be the first to line up in what may be a barnburner of epic proportions to oppose the Obamacare Health Care.
The Feds are using the 10th and 14th Ammendments principle known as the commerce clause and other such fine points of constitutional law to force all Americans to buy health Insurance(Obamacare). And if they dont, the IRS will fine them in their Income Taxes each April 15th. Now thats just what we need a federal government telling us what we need and forcing us to pay for it.
FOLKS this will be the end of Federalism in the USA if the government prevails in these law suits.(Federalism is a political concept in which a group of members are bound together by covenant (Latin: foedus, covenant) with a governing representative head. The term federalism is also used to describe a system of the government in which sovereignty is constitutionally divided between a central governing authority and constituent political units (like states or provinces). Federalism is a system in which the power to govern is shared between national and provincial/state governments, creating what is often called a federation. Proponents are often called federalists.)
Virginias attorney general and the voters of Missouri will use the nullification principle of the Constitutional Conventions which led to founding of this country.
(~Nullification: A Constitutional History, 1776-1833, Vol. 1: James Madison, Not the Father of the Constitution~ by Walter Kirk Wood, a Ph.D. historian from the Univ. of South Carolina, is an intriguing look at the doctrine of Nullification. This longstanding doctrine was not born in the antebellum South in the 1820s, contrary to popular belief. Rather it stood as a longstanding device for corporate resistance in the American political tradition. It was a vital parcel of the colonial-revolutionary tradition in the United States starting in 1765. It made its echos in the New England resistance to the Embargo Act of the Jefferson and Madison administrations.)
SO shortly, the states will ignore the Obamacare dictates and all this will wind up in the supreme court. Ignoring federal mandates(like Obamacare) will bring this federal grab for power to a head...who will WIN...the states of course, because there is NO past federal practices of the government usurping the rights of the states to decline ( the people of each state will have to decide.)to force its citizens to buy something they may not need or want. It will be interesting to see this play out in this modern era of American history.

A~ Smile, things cud be worse, so I smiled and sure enough things got worse...

stay tuned.
