The Kansas Option

State legislators in Kansas are trying to find a way out of Obamacare:
Kansas Senator Mary Pilcher-Cook of Shawnee, along with colleagues in the Kansas House from Wichita and Emporia, is planning an attempt to amend the Kansas Constitution, should Congress pass health reforms that mandate everyone carry health insurance. The amendment would allow the state to basically opt-out of such legislation. Cook tells KMBZ it would need the support of two-thirds of lawmakers, and then a thumbs up from the Kansas people on the 2010 ballot.
I'm not a lawyer but I think they may have a problem with the legal principle that federal law supersedes state law. However, it's worth a try.
