Health care could be the defining issue of the 2012 legislative session. But how will lawmakers choose to define the issue? They should not fixate on revisiting one of the most tiresome and pointless arguments of the 2011 session - making another wrongheaded run at "nullification," pursuing the thoroughly disproven legal notion that states can ignore federal health care law.

As long as lawmakers are talking about repeating this folly, it's worth repeating that the nullification concept has been rejected by federal courts since the Civil War era.
