The Hill: ‘Armed revolution'? A century of states' rights ahead
Three historic events have occurred, and one was iconic: Speaker Nancy Pelosi in October 2009, shouting, her face contorted in disbelief, at a reporter when asked if there were any constitutional problems with ObamaCare. "Are you serious?” she replied. The idea had never, possibly in decades, dawned on her or her Congress. But just before, in February 2009, New Hampshire state Rep. Dan Itse proposed that New Hampshire need not participate in ObamaCare, citing Thomas Jefferson's Kentucky Resolutions. Twenty-nine states followed, held fast and brought their case to the Supreme Court. Nowhere in the past century did states bloc together so convincingly. The third came this week when President Obama used his “bully pulpit” to endorse same-sex marriage. Thirty states had already brought pre-emptive legislation in opposition. This time the states were ahead of history.
