Last week, the state GOP created the Freedom of Health Care Protection Act, which will “prohibit certain individuals from enforcing or attempting to enforce such unconstitutional laws; and to establish criminal penalties and civil liability for violating this article.”
The measure will permit the state Attorney General, with reasonable cause, “to restrain by temporary restraining order, temporary injunction, or permanent injunction” any person who is believed to be causing harm to any person or business with the implementation of Obamacare.

The Affordable Care Act is a federal LAW. It was voted on and approved by both houses of congress, signed into law by the President of the United States, then upheld as constitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court. No state has the authority or jurisdiction to criminalize the implementation of a FEDERAL law. Yet, South Carolina has somehow convinced itself it can.
The law is now sitting in the South Carolina State Senate, awaiting approval. Let’s see if the Republican Party truly wants this maniacal fight.
Generally speaking, dealing with folks who are *borderline intellectual functioning* can be trying enough.
But add to that- when they are delusional w/enough hate in your heart (against the first Black President) to fill a pro football field and you get…well you get the Republican Party 🙁
