Idaho’s AG calls nullification bill unconstitutional, to be sent to state legislature anways
It seems in the state of Idaho the dominionists, neo-Confedrates, seccessionists, and just plain whack jobs are doubling down. They are now attempting to pass a nullication bill to ignore the healthcare law passed by Congress last year.
Idaho lawmakers are ready to introduce their plan to wall off the state from federal health care laws, but the Idaho attorney general’s office has come out against efforts to nullify federal law.
The legislation would declare the health care reform, called the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), null and void to Idaho citizens living within Idaho borders. The state would punish anyone who tries to enact or enforce the PPACA with up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine…
The attorney general’s office has disagreed with legislation in the past, which hasn’t always been a hurdle. Last year, the attorney general’s office said that legislation curbing federal regulations on guns made and sold in Idaho was unconstitutional, yet it became law.

Think Progress has a good write up on a certain Thomas Woods, Glenn Beck show guest and co-founder of the League of the South. Apparently his book is a must read for the crazies running Idaho
Neo-Confederate the think of the town in Boise
It’s both funny and sad to watch the people who are claiming to be the strongest defenders of the Constitution and liberty are the ones working at light speed to dismantle it and replace it with an authoritarian dystopia.
