“first and foremost, let us point out that were this amendment to become law, we would raise the nullification question. I believe this has been decided in United States history. The Supreme Court has clearly decided that, in fact, Federal law preempts State law in matters that are of national concern. I think we need to understand that in the South Carolina example we reject nullification, and that is, in fact, what a number of States are attempting to do with Federal law by circumventing it through largely highly funded efforts by George Soros and his allies who have distorted the record, distorted the approach, and resulted in people preying on people's legitimate concerns in how to deal in these very tough minimal number of cases where, in fact, marinol did not suffice to alleviate the vomiting. That is really what we are debating, a very limited number of cases.”
