Reply #4: so you punish states

[paulsby]

that try to use DUE PROCESS and JUDICIAL REVIEW iow the PROPER pathways by taking away their funds?

and where is it written that states (AG's) that are challenging the constitutionality of a new and radical plan (that i support btw) want "total state sovereignty?"

every law is subject to judicial review, and the rule of law, due process, and constitution MATTERS.

all the AG's are doing is advocating a LEGAL position and asking for judicial review.

this is in line with seperation of powers, due process,and the constitution.

in our state, we have already seen the feds violate state sovereignty in (for example)prosecuting medical marijuana users. medical MJ has NO commerce clause issues despite what our SCOTUS says.

i am glad the HCR passed, and i am glad it is being challenged for constitutionality. when and if it is validated by the courts, the question will be answered.

the idea of PUNISHING states who DARE question the constitutionality of federal law smacks of the WORST kind of authoritarian nonsense.
