Semi-hard here boss

Today's "should I be excited?"
Looks good from behind
But what if they have mustaches?
...   if 35 states join the suit, the law "dies, automatically."

    Buried in a front page article about Republican Governor-elect Paul Lepage, is this little ditty; LePage will ask his Attorney General to join the lawsuit already signed on by 20 other states against Obamacare. He then says, "I am going to be sitting with our attorney general and asking him to join the (health care reform) lawsuit against the federal government," he said, adding he just learned that if 35 states join the suit, the law "dies, automatically."
Anyone know about this?  It takes 38 states currently (3/4 of 50) to amend the constitution, but this 35 state deal is a new to me. Hope it's true though.

Sounds like uniformed junk. My law degree is pretty old but I doubt that something like this has changed in the last 15 years. There is nothing, nothing.

Followup. I took Constitutional law with Jessie Choper, Dean of Berkeley, author or a widely used Consitutional Law text book and recognized tip top expert. Nothing anything hinting at this was ever discussed.

Don;t tell anyone I read this blog.

Well it may not die by Constitutional law But if 35 States are suing the suit can't be killed by a single or even a couple of Federal District courts.
So if it hits the Supreme Court how do the Supremes rule when they have 35 Governors and State Attorney Generals grinning at them like a possum out of dead cow's ass.

Well, 35 is more'n half of 57, so ...
Oh, wait, this must be ObamaMath.
It follows New Math, so it must be more true.
Even if it isn't true, Progtards believe it should be true, so they'll go with it.
I'm gonna call it AfterMath.

Not knowing whether it's 35 or 38, I would tend to go for the 38. Why? Although it may be comfortable for us to accomplish our goal now, when the other side gets the advantage to stuff something down our throats again, they should have to work for it also. And Libs, as they did in *fking* California, are all about the "simple" majority.

Juice said...

Oh, yeah. And CA's prop 25 simple majority purpose? To pass a budget. Geeze, who'd a thunk. Watch as the state swirls down the bankrupt toilet.

off topic:
"Grinin like a possum out of a dead cow's ass." Was a fold saying in the Northern part of Oklahoma were I misspent a large portion of my youth. The incident that really burned it into my mind was when I was out hunting rabbits on my Step-Father's Step Mother's farm and came across the carcass of a dead cow....sure enough a possum whas grinning out of it's ass.
