South Carolina House Passes Bill Criminalizing Enforcement of ObamaCare

South Carolina House Passes Bill Criminalizing Enforcement of ObamaCare




The countdown to Tingles declaring the state of South Carolina racist has begun.
Via Raw Story:
The South Carolina state House on Wednesday passed a so-called “nullification” bill that is declares President Barack Obama’s health care reform law to be “null and void,” and criminalizes it’s implementation. 
The South Carolina Freedom of Health Care Protection Act was passed by a state House vote of 65 to 39. The bill intends to “prohibit certain individuals from enforcing or attempting to enforce such unconstitutional laws; and to establish criminal penalties and civil liability for violating this article.” 
The measure would allow the state Attorney General “to restrain by temporary restraining order, temporary injunction, or permanent injunction” any person who is believed to be causing harm with the implementation of the the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. 
Any South Carolina taxpayer who is forced to pay a penalty due to the federal health care mandate would be able to deduct the full amount of the penalty from their state taxes.
Thank You Zip.

As an indication of just How heated opposition to this gargantuan pile of fraud called ObamaCare actually Is, contrast the SC House and Governor's pro nullification position with the Heritage Foundation's analysis of nullification.

Nullification Is Unconstitutional

So, is nullification of an Unconstitutional Law also Unconstitutional?

Interesting times are in the offing.
