Why would a state have the power if the federal government doesn't? If it's unconstitutional, how does become constitutional at the state level?
^ Epic constitutional understanding FAIL.

one small step for man, one giant step toward "soylent green".
Obamacare, the government responsible for your personal support, maintenance, and upkeep.
In a situation of fiscal crisis, the first question for the government bean counters is "where can we cut our costs?"
germany instituted a system of universal healthcare at the time the german nation was formed out of the coalesced city states in the late 1800's. Hitler began as simply a pragmatic politician, and an outsider at that, the leader of a country suffering under an enormous debt load, the reparations imposed by the versaille treaty, while being immersed under a tidal wave of unemployment subsequent to the world wide economic downturn. "how can i cut germany's costs and have enough money left to put the people to work?"

Does that mean you can't explain it to me?
I could, but you wouldn't understand it.
Which is forumspeak for 'I can't.'
Can ANYONE help manifold here? All I want to know is how can a federal law that is unconstitutional become a state law, performing the same function, that is constitutional?
Oh, and not to complicate the issue here, but doesn't this make Paul Ryan's Social Security voucher plan,
which effectively forces you to buy private insurance, unconstitutional as well?

Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Tenth Amendment does not give states the right to force Americans to do something that has been ruled unconstitutional.
If it is my constitutional right not to be forced to buy health insurance, then that's my right. The state can't pass laws that violate my constitutional rights. They are protected by the Supremacy Clause.
Look, I'm not arguing here. I'm looking for a clear and concise explanation as to why I might be wrong.

Congress can regulate inter-state commerce. An uninsured person from Arkansas getting injured, without insurance, in Hawaii costs Hawaii, not the state in which they reside.

Here is my understanding, and someone correct me if I'm wrong.
SCOTUS decides what is unconstitutional for the federal government.
It only weighs in on state law in special circumstances.
The STATE Supreme Court is the final arbitrator of state law and state government constitutionality as is applies to the STATE Constitution.
This is the Federalist system, as opposed to a unitary system where all the power rests with the central government.

It's been explained here countless times, by myself and others.
I know you well enough to know you're not actually looking to be educated.
