Like many conservatives, Matt Davis, the former spokesman for the Michigan Republican Party, was upset that the Supreme Court upheld most of President Obama?s health care law on Thursday.
But unlike those who simply saw it as a rallying cry to elect more conservatives in November, Davis wants to know whether an ?armed rebellion? will be necessary to overturn the law.
Michigan Capitol Confidential got a copy of an email the Michigan attorney sent to fellow conservatives after the ruling. The news service posted it online:
If government can mandate that I pay for something I don?t want, then what is beyond its power? If the Supreme Court?s decision Thursday paves the way for unprecedented intrusion into personal decisions, then has the Republic all but ceased to exist? If so, then is armed rebellion today justified?God willing, this oppression will be lifted and America free again before the first shot is fired.
Davis told the news service he was serious about his email.
?You can?t have people walking with lattes and signs and think the object of your opposition is going to take you seriously,? he told Capitol Confidential. ?Armed rebellion is the end point of that physical confrontation.?
