Obama Blusters, Brewer Begs. When will Someone Grow a Spine?
Isn’t it time that Governors and state Attorneys General stopped wasting our precious time and money playing these silly legal games, grow a spine, and actually fulfill the oath they took to support and defend the Constitution, including the Tenth Amendment?
We Ignore the Constitution at our own Peril
If we are to move forward and live free, we need to start living healthy with or without federal permission.
A Basement Full of Water: Another View of the Health Care Ruling
U.S. District Judge Henry Hudson stopped a leak, but didn’t clean up the flooding…
The Lone Star State’s Opportunity
Will Texas take a stand? In 2011, it’ll be the first state to consider the Federal Health Care Nullification Act.
John Kroger: Slavemaster For the Feds?
The Oregon AG is not only refusing to join in the lawsuit against national healthcare, he’s actively touring the country in support of it.

Federal Health Insurance Mandates: Why You Can’t Oppose them and Support Federal Marijuana Bans at the Same Time.
Flushing the Constitution
What part of “equal†does Obama not understand? One must give him credit, though; he never said: I’ll never lie to you.
Commerce, Necessary and Proper, and Obamacare
Over the years, the Supreme Court, Congress and the Executive have egregiously misinterpreted and progressively broadened the original and intentionally narrow meaning the Framers attached to both the Commerce Clause and the Necessary and Proper Clause.
The FDA vs Raw Milk and the Constitution
There is no power granted to the federal government to ban the sales of raw milk. I’ve read the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights, and I never saw it mentioned in there. The very idea, by the way, would have seemed bizarre (and downright stupid) by our nation’s founders, many of whom actually operated farms and drank raw milk themselves.
Endless Power and the Death of Freedom
The word “commerce†has wrongly been interpreted by the Supreme Court to cover every person that moves.
Obamacare? We Should Have Seen You Coming
The only way forward is to nullify through the statehouses. If we are to pull this one out, we will have to nullify this law. There is no other option.
Had Enough?
The unseemly legislative conduct (the Founders would have called it “corruptionâ€) leading up to the vote have communicated even to those previously not paying attention that federal politicians are now absolutely, utterly out of control. The majority in Congress has rendered it perfectly clear that there is no constitutional or legal restriction they will not violate.
Kill the Bill, Invoke the 10th
Thomas Jefferson: “Whensoever the General Government assumes undelegated powers, its acts are unauthoritative, void, and of no force”
Question Authority! Especially When It Comes To Health Care Reform
Our opponents would like nothing more than to distract us from the issue of constitutionality. But by refusing to be redirected, we can retain the high ground and dictate the terms of battle, as it were. This will also help to educate and prepare those who believe in limited government to resist not only this act of federal usurpation, but all such acts.
On the Constitution, Beware the Word “Clearly”
In response to a recent op-ed in the LA Times, Rob Natelson writes: “The claim that the Founding Fathers would have thought the Constitution allows Congress to impose health care mandates is little short of absurd.”
Health Care Nullification and Interposition
James Madison asserted that state governments not only have the right to resist unconstitutional federal acts, but that they are “duty bound to interpose” or stand between the federal government and the people of the state.
Health Care Nullification: Things have just gotten underway
Over the years, wise men and women warned us that the Constitution would never enforce itself. The time is long overdue for people to start recognizing this fact, and bring that enforcement closer to home.
Are Federal Health Insurance Mandates Constitutional?
Let us be clear at the outset that federal involvement in health care (except in a few isolated instances, such as federal employee benefits) certainly violates the Constitution as that document was originally understood.
The Growing Movement to Nullify National Health Care
In response to what some opponents see as a Congress that doesn’t represent their interests, State Legislators are looking to the nearly forgotten American political tradition of nullification as a way to reject any potential national health care program that may be coming from Washington.
Healthcare Freedom or Healthcare Bureaucracy?
There will be a day of reckoning when the credit stops and the bills for all this spending come due. When that day comes and politicians and bureaucrats have to deal with reality, it will be very uncomfortable to find yourself in their liability column, which is where healthcare reform will put many more Americans.
Health Care and the Fallacy of Positive Rights
How can taking what belongs to another person (their money, time, or effort) through legislative force be a “right”?
Virginia Health Care Freedom
The Campaign for Liberty has stepped to the plate big time in Virginia, getting out ahead of the feds and finding a sponsor for the Virginia Health Care Freedom Act, to be introduced in 2010.
Nancy, Are You Serious?
Recently, the U.S. Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, responding to a reporter’s question of whether the Constitution gave Congress the authority to enact individual health insurance mandate, kept repeating, “Are you serious?”
The Welfare State Corrupts Absolutely
Let’s begin at the beginning. Medical care is not a free good found in nature. Of course, no one really thinks it is. But that doesn’t keep most people from wanting to pretend otherwise, and the current institutional setting makes that possible.
