House Democrats accused Republicans of voting for a bill with roots in the 1700s "in defiance of common sense."

Minority Leader John Rusche labeled Wednesday's GOP vote to introduce "nullification" - to fight President Barack Obama's health care overhaul - as "meaningless grandstanding" and an "appalling" waste of time.

Rusche said the vote could also be dangerous, since it conflicts with lawmakers' sworn oaths of office.

Though GOP members of the House State Affairs Committee did vote as a bloc, some indicated they did so to hear more about it - not because they supported it.

State vs. Federal: The Nullification Movement (http://www.thenewamerican.com/index.php/usnews/constitution/2957-state-vs-federal-the-nullification-movement)

Because the Supreme Court has for many years interpreted the Constitution in a manner to further empower the federal government, states are moving to take power back from the feds through a growing and vibrant nullification movement. By Patrick Krey

Nullification in a Nutshell (http://www.thenewamerican.com/index.php/history/american/2971-nullification-in-a-nutshell)

The modern-day nullification movement has as its genesis the principle of federalism and the writings of James Madison and Thomas Jefferson, in particularly the famous Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions of 1798, supporting the right of states to nullify unconstitutional federal usurpations.

Didn't "common sense" get us here in the first place?

But you didn't post the best parts!


“If I disagree with the courts when they judicially exceed constitutional standards, then I should also disagree with the legislature when they attempt to do the same thing,” [ Idaho Senator ] Davis said. “Nullification appears to me to exceed constitutional authority.”

The Idaho attorney general has weighed in, branding nullification unconstitutional.

But proponents have said that's just one opinion, and vowed to press on with their aims.

Money quote: yeah, well, that's just, like, YOUR opinion, man!
