At the Volokh Conspiracy, my [occasional co-author](http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2106789) Jonathan Adler [dresses down](http://www.volokh.com/2012/12/06/georgia-fact-check-fail/) PolitiFact-Georgia for declaring “[false](http://www.politifact.com/georgia/statements/2012/nov/28/michael-cannon/experts-say-federal-law-trumps-state-law-obamacare/)” [my claim](http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/333040/obamacare-still-vulnerable-michael-f-cannon) that Georgia law prohibits state employees from implementing an ObamaCare Exchange. If you place faith in “fact checkers,” you might not want to read it. My response to PolitiFact-Georgia is [here](https://www.cato.org/i-have-been-false/).
