Michele Bachmann suggests Americans avoid UnConstitutional Health Care law

Civil Disobedience or just doing one's duty upholding the Constitution?

The Congresswoman from eastern Minnesota is vastly becomming a hero to the libertarian movement. Over the weekend, at a rally held at the state capitol in St. Paul, Bachmann made the following remarks according to TPM (via Memeo):

"But mark my words, the American people aren't gonna take this lying down," Bachmann later said. "We aren't gonna play their game, we're not gonna pay their taxes. They want us to pay for this? Because we don't have to. We don't have to. We don't have to follow a bill that isn't law. That's not the American way, and that's not what we're going to do.

If they pass the bill legitimately, then yes, we have to follow the law -- until we repeal it. But if they pass it illegitimately, then the bill is illegitimate, and we don't have to lay down for this. It's not difficult to figure out. So if for some reason they're able to get their votes this week and pass this 2,700-page Senate bill -- if they get it, trillions of dollars is what it's gonna cost, when we didn't vote on it, we need to tell them a message: That if they get away with this, they will be able to get away with anything -- with anything. And you can't say you voted on a bill when you didn't, because it's fraud. But we are not helpless here. We are not helpless, there are things that we can do."

Previously pegged as a social conservative, Bachmann has been associating herself as of late more and more with libertarians such as Ron Paul, Glenn Beck, and Ted Nugent. Libertarian-leaning GOPer Sarah Palin has a fundraiser scheduled for Bachmann next month in her district.
