Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas’ pursuit of a spate of lawsuits and indictments against county leaders and judges won’t rob any other criminal defendants of their right to a fair trial, a judge ruled Tuesday.

Today, public opinion is on our side. According to a Rasmussen Reports 59% of voters believe the States should be able to ‘opt out’ of Federal Programs it does not agree with. Compared to 47% who agreed when asked about National Health care in December. The number jumps to 63% when asked about opting out of Federally unfunded mandates.
That is a trend in which I predict will give rise to much more attention from the opposition. In the few articles and blogs which have surfaced so far, those who are opposed to a truly federal System as laid out by the founding fathers in our constitution, have called upon ‘constitutional experts’ to put down such silly talk of State Sovereignty, and the notion that the Tenth Amendment has any real bearing on today’s political landscape.
One op-ed that comes to mind was from the LA Times titled Constitutional objections to Obamacare don’t hold up, back in January. Akhil Reed Amar begins his editorial by listing his credentials.
I’m no healthcare expert, but I have spent the last three decades studying the Constitution, and the current plan easily passes constitutional muster.
