Trillhaase: Disloyalty

Jeers … to the 15 Republican members of the Idaho House State Affairs Committee who trashed their oath of office Wednesday. Led by freshman state Rep. Vito Barbieri, R-Coeur d’Alene, they voted to introduce a bill that would have Idaho refuse to obey the national health care reform package Congress passed last year. No legislature in the United States has that kind of authority. The Constitution makes the national government supreme. So says Idaho Attorney General Lawrence Wasden’s office. So say constitutional scholars. So says American history, which saw nullification - and its ultimate outcome, secession - obliterated in four bloody years of Civil War. Barbieri and his renegade colleagues think they know best. But how did they miss their own oath of office?/ Marty Trillhaase , Lewiston Tribune. More here .

Question: Do Reps. Vito Barbieri and Phil Hart of House District 3 support only laws that they agree with?
