The Daily Caller On Rush Limbaugh’s Thursday program, George Mason University professor Walter E. Williams outlined the case that states can nullify Obamacare, citing Thomas Jefferson’s 1789 Kentucky Resolution, which was a claim that the U. S. Constitution is a compact among the several states, and any power not delegated to the U.S. government is void.
“I think the American citizens ought to press their state governors and legislatures just to nullify the law — just to plain nullify it and say, ‘The citizens of such-and-such-a state don’t have to obey Obamacare because it’s unconstitutional, regardless of what the Supreme Court says,’” Williams said.
Williams cited Marbury v. Madison, which said “all laws which are repugnant to the Constitution are null and void” to further the case for nullification from the states.
Nullification is a doctrine introduced in the infancy of the United States and was what some have suggested led to the Civil War. As far as the legal precedent of nullification and how it led to the Civil War, Williams said he doubted the repercussions would as serious as they were in 1861.
“I think two things are different this time,” he said. “First, most Americans are against Obamacare. And secondly, I don’t believe — and you call me up and tell me if I’m wrong about this — I don’t believe that you could find a United States soldier who would follow a presidential order to descend on a state to round up or shoot fellow Americans because they refuse to follow a congressional order to buy health insurance.”
You replace your maid yet?, how about a few oxycotin. Like you said about those types of things you drug addict f#@ker! Ears still ringin` are they or do you have a different drug of choice. You ARE A CHUMP RUSH LIMBAUGH. Like you said in the past – credibility is ruined if you use drugs.
From the Trenches is not a gutter so don’t treat it like one. This is where we come to talk to one another so stop shitting on the floor.
That’s the third time in 20 minutes, clean up the language.
Thank you
I just remember a few yrs. back when rushbo was saying that. no offense. but Rush did . Remember! By the way, I have heard some pretty vulgar language on this site as well as others sites that would make me sound tame. sorry to offend any one though. again I will try to clean up.
No big deal. We allow that people are going to go off every once in a while, but it is better if we try to keep the site as clean as possible. We have good Christian ladies reading what we write and personally I try to write like I would talk if one of my more sensitive friends was in the room, for no other reason than we don’t want to drive anyone away.
I was pretty guilty about the language myself, Dan, til Henry very politely explained why I shouldn’t use it. And I’m still mad at him. ( sarcasm ) LOL !
We all slip up. Henry’s right.
Trying to use language you would use in front of your Mother, or children, is also helpful. Mom always said, “Profanity shows a lack of Vocabulary.”
Hi. Angel-NYC and Clark Kent. I`ll Keep your valuble feedback in mind. I guess I do have a very bad prob. with rushbo types. My language also is something to be less than desired at times. Sorry again Henry S. I have been humbled.
No need to be humbled brother. As I live in a glass house, I am reluctant to cast the first stone, but I think we can all be proud of the fact that From the Trenches stands out for the intellectual makeup of our readers and commenters and our earnest attempts at etiquette.
Hey, I don’t feel like paying it. That’s all I really need.
“Freedom… I won’t!”
I am not paying it, either. My website says why–
