I'm reading Jeff Woods' story today about Susan "10th Amendment Fetishist" Lynn's
Rep. Lynn may not have fully thought this 'nullification' thing through.
newest plot to stick it to the federal government, and it got me thinking, "Shoot, when even Campfield thinks your crazy idea is crazy, it's pretty dang crazy." Lynn wants to amend our state constitution to grant the state the power to nullify any federal laws the state disagrees with. In this case, Lynn wants to "protect" Tennesseans from health care reform. Now, if you don't think about this too hard, it seems like a smart move for Lynn. She can tap into the tea partiers' anti-government sentiment and, while the whole mess is being hashed out in court, she can ride that anti-fed sentiment into a state senatorial seat. Her plan has one tragic flaw. You still have to pay federal income tax.
