Senators: ‘Enough federal government’
The Senate has voted in favor of another measure calling for amending the U.S. Constitution, again on a divided voice vote. This one, SJM 106, was just introduced on Friday morning at the behest of Gov. Butch Otter; it calls for a 28th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution to ban Congress from requiring people to purchase health insurance. Again, there was strong debate on both sides. Said sponsor Sen. Curt McKenzie, R-Nampa, "This is just one small way for us to say enough, enough federal government." The non-binding memorial now moves to the House, which has gone to lunch.
