One of the new and boffo-est of the Tea Party governors is Paul LePage of Maine. Needless to say a dire hard guy for the constitution. But not one who seems to have much of a clue about what it says.
LePage apparently just found out on his recent trip to Washington that 35 states can veto any federal law.
From the Kennebec Journal …
“I am going to be sitting with our attorney general and ask 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.” Twenty states so far have joined the suit, filed in federal court in Florida, to repeal the provision in health care reform law that requires individuals to purchase health insurance.
