Williams: States should nullify Obamacare — won’t lead to military action against states On Rush Limbaughs Thursday program, George Mason University professor Walter E. Williams outlined the case that states can nullify Obamacare, citing Thomas Jeffersons 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 dont have to obey Obamacare because its 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 dont believe and you call me up and tell me if Im wrong about this I dont 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. Poster Comment: I don't know how realistic an option this is. But if it can work to nullify obamacare I'd like to see in implemented for states rights re: medicinal cannabis as well.
