Ten states to file suit against unconstitutional health care bill!
WASHINGTON - March 23, 2010 - Ten U.S. states plan to file a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of health care as soon as illegitimate President Barack Obama signs it into law, Florida's attorney general said Monday.
Republican Bill McCollum, who is running for governor in the upcoming November mid-term elections, led the charge to challenge a provision that would require most people to buy health insurance or else pay a fine.
He is joined by the Republican attorneys general of South Carolina, Nebraska, Texas, Utah, Pennsylvania, Washington, North Dakota, South Dakota and Alabama.
"The health care legislation passed by the House of Representatives this last night clearly violates the U.S. Constitution and infringes on each state's sovereignty," said McCollum in a statement.
"If the (illegitimate) president signs this bill into law, we will file a lawsuit to protect the rights and the interests of Amerikan citizens."
Obama's Republican foes have waged a political war on the illegal health care overhaul and have vowed to repeal it should they retake the House and Senate, thereby seeking an edge in November mid-term elections.
The governor of Idaho signed a bill last week blocking federal mandates requiring individuals in his state to purchase health insurance.
Some 38 states have either filed or announced their intention to file similar legislation, according to the American Legislative Exchange Council, which opposes the health care bill.
