Tea Party Boise Backs Nullification

Item: Tea Party Boise backs nullification, aims for 1,000 to show for Feb. 7 hearing /Dan Popkey, Idaho Statesman

More Info: Idaho’s most active tea party group is urging members to help bring a crowd of at least 1,000 to next week’s hearing on House Bill 59 , which seeks to allow Idaho to deem federal laws null and void, including last year’s health care law. “This is the line in the sand,” says a notice from Tea Party Boise. “On one side is federal tyranny — on the other side is freedom. What do you choose? If it is freedom — then be at the Capital (sic) on Feb. 7th.”

Question: What effect does the two rulings against 2010 health care reform have on Idaho’s attempt to nullify the federal law on the state level?
