In his remarks accompanying the legislation, Nozzolio reminds his fellow Senators, “For the last fourteen months, the U.S. Congress and the President have tried everything they could to consolidate total power in the federal government.” Apparently, Albany is beginning to understand what “We the People” have been becoming increasingly frustrated and concerned about since January 21, 2009. The Senator also displays his recognition that the healthcare legislation is only the latest in a long list of federal actions that are in direct violation of the constitutionally enumerated and limited powers granted the federal government by the states and the people

With the current legislative make up, this probably wont get passed the Assembly but its good to see that somebody is attempting to do something constructive in Albany. My state senator is a co-sponsor.

From what I've heard, I don't think it's possible for anything constructive to come out of Albany.

This is also true, once in awhile the oligarchs have to throw us a bone. My cynical side says its only been introduced because the entire Senate is up for reelection.

Yeah, and even if it passes, we'll see how much the Republicans in the state legislature will resist the Republicans in Congress the next time the latter tries to use the federal government to exceed it's authority.
