It’s hard to cover everything that needs to be addressed in this 6+ minute video, but I’ll touch on a few of them below.
Here’s a few observations:
1. Turley is absolutely correct that “decades of precedent” in the courts oppose the view that the federal government is not authorized to enact a national health care plan. But, what he fails to point out, is that under the original meaning, intention and understanding of the Constitution - these kinds of powers would have been unthinkable.

2. Neither the host nor Turley seem to have any clue about nullification - or its current efforts. Nullification has nothing to do with getting a positive ruling from the Supreme Court. It’s when a state passes a law simply refusing to implement a federal law. In fact, it has a long history in the American tradition. It’s been used to resist laws against free speech, fugitive slave laws, the use of the militia in war and more. Hardly “right-wing” at all. Learn more here. Continue Reading
