Kansas Senator Mary Pilcher-Cook of Shawnee, along with colleagues in the Kansas House from Wichita and Emporia, is planning an attempt to amend the Kansas Constitution, should Congress pass health reforms that mandate everyone carry health insurance. The amendment would allow the state to basically opt-out of such legislation. Cook tells KMBZ it would need the support of two-thirds of lawmakers, and then a thumbs up from the Kansas people on the 2010 ballot.

It looks like that state doesn't want to waste money they don't have.

I am a Federalist at heart. I say let all the states exercise sovereignty! Shrink that Fed to minimal fuctioning capacity.

Just keep a couple of janitors to clean up around the Washington Monument and Lincoln memorial. Did I forget some fellas to mow the national Cemetary?

Hmmmm.

See... I would define a federalist as someone who wanted to see a strong centralized federal government.

Is that not how a federalist is defined?

No. A federalist is one who desires to see a smaller and restricted Federal Government that allows states to rule on their own in any issues not destincivly spelled out in the Constitution.

Don't sprain your back lifting the new 1990 page bill from Pelosi
