Nullification Efforts Will Not Be Successful

Several states are trying to nullify Obamacare by claiming the states have the right to cancel Federal law.  I wish it was true, but these efforts are bound to fail.  A little background from Attorney Gabriel Malor at Ace of Spades:

I had this story in my twitter news brief on Friday, but maybe it bears some more discussion. It seems some state legislatures are mulling "nullification" bills targeted at ObamaCare.

Nullification is a long-discredited, but persistent idea that keeps popping up from disgruntled state legislatures. Proponents claim that state legislatures can invalidate federal laws that they deem unconstitutional. The idea is that states, as sovereigns in their own right who joined together to make the United States, are the ultimate arbiters of the meaning of the U.S. Constitution and not the Supreme Court.

Malor goes on in the post to show how nullification efforts in the past failed and how this effort will not be successful. Read it here.
