The Corner

I Will Not Comply

Like so many other NRO readers, I’m feeling thankful right now that there are so many brilliant lawyers hanging around here to give us the straight story on the Democrats’ impending assault on the Constitution. As a non-lawyer, I took a different tack in my Carolina Journal column today: I offered to be a plaintiff. I have decided that I will not obey the dictates of any federal bureaucrat who tries to impose a tax or regulation on me by citing the authority of an Obamacare bill that fails to pass both houses of Congress as required by our Constitution.

To put it bluntly, then: I will not comply. If the government tries to make me comply, I’ll sue. And I’ll win.
