Replying to a message of Jeff Binkley to Ross Sauer:

 RS>> "What a maroon!" -Bugs Bunny

 RS>> Georgia's governor will pursue a lawsuit against the new

 RS>> Gov. Sonny Perdue, a Republican, opposes the health care

Those 34 states and those involved in the lawsuit recently filed against
Obamacare are all wasting their time and efforts.  Judges on the federal
bench - up to and including the Supremes - have for decades been selected
for their political ideologies, not for any legal, judicial or Constitutional
expertise.  IMO Obamacare is a done deal and the courts will decide against
the states and void those state laws that conflict with Obamacare.

What the states *need* to do is convene a Constitutional Convention and
put the brakes on the national government - maybe even dissolve it.  I can't
offhand think of anything prettier than a lot of unemployed (former) federal
bureaucrooks.  Many US states are physically larger than recognized nations,
have populations larger than recognized nations and have economies as large
or larger than some recognized nations.  Would play h*ll with the UN though...
