Now this is what I call federalism:
“Any provision of law or regulation of the United States may be repealed by the several states, and such repeal shall be effective when the legislatures of two-thirds of the several states approve resolutions for this purpose that particularly describe the same provision or provisions of law or regulation to be repealed.”
This would be the solution for legislative atrocities like ObamaCare.
Rand,
[[[restoring Constitutional government]]]
And exactly how is the current one in violation of the Constitution?
By passing the health-care atrocity, for starters. By setting up “czars.” By taking over GM and firing its head. The Founders never envisioned any of those things.
Thomas, you’re cherry picking and wrong as well.
1) Three people split a vote, 25%, 35% and 40%. Which has the majority of votes?
2) 100 people can vote. 40 of them choose to. The vote goes 19 to 21. Which is the majority?
3) Millions of people live in a country and 10% of them vote. Congress passes a law forces every one of those million to be penalized. Were a majority of people trampled upon?
I’m sure you’ll choose to answer completely different questions.

So file suit and let the Supreme Court decide. As the Constitution requires.

No, but you just showed how fringe groups take control and impose their views on the majority. Its good people doing nothing. So you have decided me, I will vote for Harry Reid as Sharron Angle is just too goofy to be a Senator.

Don’t blame others for your goofy decisions.

Many are.
As the Constitution requires.
What article and section requires that?
Rand,
[[[What article and section requires that?]]]
Article III, Section 2 – The judicial Power shall extend to all Cases, in Law and Equity, arising under this Constitution, the Laws of the United States, and Treaties made, or which shall be made, under their Authority
http://www.supremecourt.gov/about/constitutional.aspx
[[[The unique position of the Supreme Court stems, in large part, from the deep commitment of the American people to the Rule of Law and to constitutional government. The United States has demonstrated an unprecedented determination to preserve and protect its written Constitution, thereby providing the American “experiment in democracy” with the oldest written Constitution still in force.]]]
[[[So file suit and let the Supreme Court decide.
Many are.]]]
So then the court will decide based on the Constitution. So what is your problem?
My problem is that we have to spend energy and money and time going to court to overturn blatantly unconstitutional laws because our lawmakers and president (like you, apparently) don’t give a god damn about the Constitution.
Well, maybe we’ll fix that in a few weeks, despite the fact that you are goofy enough to be willing to reelect a Senator who thinks that another senatorial candidate, a former Marxist, is his “pet.”
I will vote for Harry Reid as Sharron Angle is just too goofy to be a Senator
Right. I pushed you over the edge. You really aught to take that stand up comedy routine on the road (and note how, as I predicted, you ignored the questions.)
Rand,
[[[(like you, apparently) don’t give a god damn about the Constitution.]]]
And this type of statement is the key of what is wrong with the Tea Party and their supporters. To them anyone who doesn’t agree with them 110% is the enemy. Its this attitude more then anything else that will prove their down fall as more American’s encounter it and are rejected by it. It is the attitude of an angry mob, not a rational political movement. Its what makes them sound extremists and Americans tend not to like extremists, either left wing or right wing.

Please spare us the horseshit straw men.

If you think that it’s an “extremist” position to think that people like Congressman Phil Hare, who said he doesn’t care about the Constitution (he was just more honest than most of these fascists) deserves to be removed from office, then call me an extremist. Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice, and “moderation” in defense of unconstitutional tyranny is no virtue.
Ken Anthony,

Yes and its what the Tea Party is forcing many main stream Republicans to do.
FYI, something you won’t hear on Fox News.
http://www.examiner.com/clark-county-elections-2010-in-las-vegas/reid-angle-and-reid-sandoval-a-stark-difference-poll-numbers
[[[Another Poll was released today, this time the Poll was conducted for Reuters by Ipsos. The Poll for US Senator shows Senator Harry Reid (D-NV) with 46 percent and Sharron Angle (R-NV) with 44 percent.]]]
and
[[[ Ipsos also Polled the race for Nevada Governor, and the Poll shows Brian Sandoval (R-NV) with a whopping 60 to 31 percent lead over Democratic candidate Rory Reid.]]]
[[[This may show that Nevada Republicans see that Sandoval is more inline with the State Republican party thinking and Republican moderates in the State as opposed to Sharron Angle who espouses ultra-right wing extremism.]]]
If Sarah Palin and the out-of-state funded Tea Party Express hadn’t hijacked the Republican primary in Nevada that is the same lead Sue Lowden would have over Senator Reid now, and he would be planning his retirement.
But thanks to the Tea Party many Republicans will be splitting their vote, voting for Sandoval for Governor and then voting for Harry Reid. Or not voting as all for Senator.
Thank you Tea Party for six more years of Senator Reid.
You may scream your rants all you want, but the Tea Party is the best gift the Democrat party ever got.

See, you just proved my point. I may not buy the Tea Party extremism, but I also don’t agree with the extremist statement by Congressman Hare. But you, like the Tea Party, just see the world as just black and white, like binary code and that is not how the real world is.
the Tea Party is the best gift the Democrat party ever got
No Thomas, that would be ‘republicans’ like you.
You say you are going to vote for Reid. So how is that different from Murkowski? who will not endorse the primary winner. How is that different from Castle?
The tea party is not extreme. They stand for very basic American values.
Ken Anthony,
When there are no Republicans to vote for you make do.
[[[The tea party is not extreme. They stand for very basic American values.]]]
Yes, like those promoted by the John Birch Society. Again, something you won’t see on Fox News.

I guess she is running for the Utah vote in Nevada… Or recruiting for her armed rebellion when she loses 🙂
