State sovereignty to be used to fight health care reform!
ST. PAUL, Minnesota - September 11, 2009 - Governor Tim Pawlenty says he may invoke state sovereignty to keep Minnesota from fully participating in a health care reform plan, if passed by Congress and signed by illegitimate President Barack Obama.
In a Thursday night conference call hosted by the Republican Governor's Association, Pawlenty was asked whether he would invoke state's rights if a health care bill is passed. He said it's possible.
"Depending on what the federal government comes out with here, asserting the Tenth Amendment may be a viable option," said Pawlenty. "But we don't know the details. As one of the other callers said, we can't get the (illegitimate) president to outline what he does or doesn't support in any detail. So we'll have to see, I would have to say that it's a possibility."
The governor downplayed his comments Friday morning, saying he wasn't interested in a lawsuit or secession from the union.
Pawlenty, who is considered a potential candidate for president in 2012, said Thursday he and other Republican governors would get more assertive about raising the Tenth Amendment.
"I think we can hopefully see a resurgence in claims and maybe even bring up lawsuits if need be," he added.
Pawlenty made his comments only two days before illegitimate President Obama is scheduled to speak about health care at the Target Center in Minneapolis.
