Your Own Private Idaho

When it comes down to it, health care reform on the federal level is unconstitutional as it stands.  And any bill that requires American citizens to buy anything is not only unconstitutional, it goes against the liberty engendered by the founding documents as a whole.  I've said it all along, the 10th amendment to the U.S. Constitution grants the states rights that are not afforded to the U.S. government.  If your state wants health care reform, good luck, you're state is well within its rights to do so.

Your state is also well within their rights to tell the Feds to go to H E double toothpick.  And they will.

This from FOXNEWS via the Associated Press:

Idaho Becomes First State to Sign Law Against Health Care Reform

AP
Idaho Gov. C.L. "Butch" Otter is the first state chief executive to sign a measure requiring his attorney general to sue the federal government if Congress passes health care reform.


"Idaho Gov. C.L. "Butch" Otter is the first state chief executive to sign a measure requiring his attorney general to sue the federal government if Congress passes health care reform.
Legal experts say the measure, signed Wednesday, will likely be struck down. But Idaho's new law reflects growing frustration with President Obama's health-care proposal.
Legislation similar to Idaho's is pending in as many as 37 other states nationwide.
Democrats in the nation's capital are hoping to pass health care reform by this weekend.
The American Legislative Exchange Council created the model legislation for Idaho and other states. The Washington, D.C.-based, nonprofit says Idaho is the first to sign a version into law"

Yep.  That's it.
