Thread: Idaho GOP gets ready to nullify health care reform

After leading the nation last year in passing a law to sue the federal government over the health care overhaul, Idaho's Republican-dominated Legislature now plans to use an obscure 18th century doctrine to declare President Barack Obama's signature bill null and void.

On one hand, this appears to me to be a tactic that will ultimately go nowhere.

On the other hand, this does send the message that Idaho, as well as other States considering this action, are against Obamacare.

Will the Democrats heed this message?
