The hits just keep on coming. At first they were mildly amusing. Now they’re mildly scary. I am not sure sanity is a “viable option” here.

Hey, Minnesotans, your Governor wants to deny you health coverage! I bet the state’s new junior Senator will have a field day with this!
Munnesotans don’t want Obamacare.
…but the Governor shouldn’t be denying the choice to those who do want it.
I guess the court will settle it, but it seems unconstitutional.
Some interpret the 10th amendment to prohibit the federal government from doing anything not listed in Article I, section 8 of the Constitution. This goes back to the Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions and the Nullification Crisis. I think it’s pretty settled at this point that the federal government has broad powers. The strongest argument would be that since providers operate in multiple states this goes to interstate commerce.
Is that the Union won the Civil War.
