The Reid Bill: coercive and unconstitutional

This is a no-brainer for state governors to instantly nullify the law. People forget the states actually have more power then the federal government. Governor simply has to make a statement that he finds the bill unconstitutional, therefore the residents of the state have no obligation whatsoever to follow or pay for any such law. End of story. The bill is unconstitutional in so many ways it’s impossible to discuss in one sitting. Then again, everything done this year by this administration has been unconstitutional.

They are basically trying to pass an amendment as a bill. And still nobody voting for it has read it, nor even cares to. The shear stupidity involved watching these idiot Democrats continue to vote on a bill blindly that is changed daily says enough. Then again, people are actually stupid enough in this country to use the word ‘free’ anything provided by the government.

This will go back to the house, come out with a final vote in the senate needing only 51 votes, and a few Democratic senators will be allowed off the hook to vote ‘against’ it. I also love the grandstanding by some saying how this is how a ‘democracy’ works, demonstrating that many in the senate don’t even understand what TYPE of government the United States has in place.
