Your story, "With legislation, Marshall continues health care fight," shows us a road that Virginia has been down before. With "massive resistance" to the Supreme Court's Brown v. Board of Education decision, Virginia hoped to "interpose" itself between the federal government and the people to prevent racial integration of the public schools.
Del. Bob Marshall hopes to do the same thing with his futile, theatric bills to ban mandated health care. His efforts will fail for the same reason that massive resistance did -- once the federal government requires something, the states are helpless to stop it. He and Attorney General Cuccinelli know this, or should know it, but they are engaged in inflammatory and deceptive tactics for their own political gain.
