And again from the right: South Carolina House of Reps Passes ObamaCare Nullification Bill

By a vote of 65-39, state representatives placed South Carolina on a collision course with the Obama administration with their approval of HB 3101, a bill prohibiting state officers and agents from carrying out the myriad mandates contained in President Obama’s medical care morass.

Since the opening of the 120th session of the South Carolina state legislature, a broad coalition of South Carolinians and liberty-minded organizations have urged the state House of Representatives to stand up to the federal healthcare tyranny by passing the South Carolina Freedom of Health Care Protection Act.

In fact, John Birch Society South Carolina Coordinator Jesse Graston attributes the bill’s passage by the House to a “groundswell of grassroots activity.”

“The Democrats were trying to kill this bill, last week
, and even to get this third reading before the cross-over deadline ... was a fight. ... but with a tremendous amount of pressure from [members of the John Birch Society], the speaker was forced to give ... the bill a third reading at the last minute,” reports Graston.

Sovereignty (state in this case) - the last bastion of the far-right. Nullification rises again. It's like the Civil War never happened.

And I thought the JBS was a relic of a bygone era. It is apparently alive and well at least in South Carolina.
