Nullification, the Media, and Idaho

Unlearn the Propaganda!

    Congratulations, mr Woods. Idaho legislature just voted to nullify Obamacare.

    I think it’s funny how none of these politicians or media figures care about the constitution until people start talking about nullification, then that’s unconstitutional. By the way, they never give a reason for it being unconstitutional other than that the Supreme Court has said so in the past. Well the Supreme Court also ruled that black people aren’t human beings so should we listen to that? To politicians the Supreme Court is the constitution.

    Well said John. This is the kind of thing that Mr. Woods has been so helpful in overcoming. As an Idahoan, I’m somewhat skeptical but still hopeful that this will mature into something that unifies Idaho and embarrasses the Feds enough into backing down. If it does prove fruitful, I will be able to say with certainty that Mr. Woods’ book and subsequent visit to Boise State University were in part responsible.

    Mr. Woods: I have recently begun to describe my thinking, when asked, as Thomistic in both senses, i.e. the Aquinian and the Woodsian. It is the only real way to be a Thomist these days. :)

    Fantatic Mr. Woods. Its time to go on the offense. The commissars of thought shall not keep us down any longer.
