State Representative Mike Ritze from Oklahoma will be proposing a bill that nullifies ObamaCare. No, nullification isn't when all the white conservatives demand that we bring back black slavery to the states. Nullification happens when the states tell the Feds, "Don't you forget that we created you, and that we're sovereign to you. We're not going to abide by your unconstitutional laws, and if you try to force them on us, you'll find your agents in jail."
Ritze's bill isn't just one of those non-binding resolutions that merely states that Obama's healthcare mandate is unconstitutional. Those resolutions do nothing but make politicians feel better about themselves. It gives them something to point to when people ask them what they are doing to counteract Obama's tyranny. "Well, I voted for some non-binding resolution saying that ObamaCare was unconstitutional. Doesn't that count for something?" they might ask. Well, no, not really. Resolutions don't do anything. In fact, they can make things worse because politicians think that at least it's doing something, and after they've voted for the resolution, they think, "Well, at least we tried." Resolutions in effect say, "Hey, Feds. We don't really agree with what you're doing, but I guess we'll accept it if we have to. Thanks, bye." Yeah, I'm sure the Feds shake in their boots when they get non-binding state resolutions voicing their opinions. If only people put as much stock in Supreme Court decisions as they do in empty resolutions. How about something with teeth?
Ritze doesn't just call ObamaCare unconstitutional; his bill will criminalize any U.S. government agent who tries to enforce Obama's brand of healthcare socialism in the state of Oklahoma:
"Any official, agent, or employee of the United States government or any employee of a corporation providing services to the United States government that enforces or attempts to enforce an act, order, law, statute, rule or regulation of the government of the United States in violation of this act shall be guilty of a felony and upon conviction must be punished by a fine not exceeding Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00), or a term of imprisonment not exceeding five (5) years, or both.
Any public officer or employee of the State of Oklahoma that enforces or attempts to enforce an act, order, law, statute, rule, or regulation of the government of the United States in violation of this act shall be guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment in the county jail not exceeding two (2) years, or by a fine not exceeding One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00), or both such fine and imprisonment."

Bill Maher: Don't you dare lower the legal blood alcohol limit, you nanny-staters!
May 19, 2013 08:38 PM
So lowering the blood alcohol limit is an unacceptable intrusion by the Nanny State (even though doing so probably would save lives). Gun control, on the other hand, is positively wonderful (even though the right to bear arms, unlike the right to drive, is protected by the U.S. Constitution): And nationalizing one-seventh of the economy in the name […]![]()

No one is arguing that Acevdeo doesn't enjoy the same First Amendment rights as other citizens. The point is simply that it is unseemly for a high-ranking public official to address critics in such a harsh, vitriolic manner. ![]()

Rupert Murdoch: Boost charitable giving by scrapping the charitable deduction
May 19, 2013 05:58 PM
That’s what Murdoch tweeted in response to a question from Newsday’s Josh Greenman about getting rid of the charitable deduction. Greenman’s question was prompted by Murdoch’s logic-challenged tweet yesterday linking the IRS scandal to the need for a flat tax and elimination of all deductions. We suspect that the number of major charitable organizations supporting Murdoch’s […]![]()
Chicago Teacher's Union marches to protest school closures
May 19, 2013 05:29 PM
That’s right. It’s OK for the “educators” in the Chicago Teacher’s Union to shut down schools and endanger kids left abandoned to streets, but it’s murder when Chicago mayor Rahm Emmanuel tries to shut down schools (most of them poor performers) to keep the district solvent. Most Chicago public schools are awful, and teachers earn $76,000 […]![]()
