The South Carolina Solution: Bill Would Make Obamacare Implementation A Crime

From the Dept. of Awesome Ideas.

The Supreme Court may have ruled ObamaCare is constitutional, but implementing the controversial federal law would become a crime in South Carolina if a bill passed by the state House becomes law.

The bill, approved Wednesday by a vote of 65-39, declares President Obama’s signature legislation “null and void.” Whereas the law that Obama pushed and Congress passed is known as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, South Carolina’s law would be known as the Freedom of Health Care Protection Act.

It would prohibit state officials and employees from “enforcing or attempting to enforce such unconstitutional laws” and “establish criminal penalties and civil liability” for those who engage in activities that aid the implementation of ObamaCare.

Yeah, it’s a long shot but any ensuing legal battles that may result would certainly slow the monster down a little. It also makes it easier for John Roberts to cross thins off of his “Potential Vacation Spots” list.
