Calling the new federalized health care law “unconstitutional,” thirteen State Attorney’s General joined in a federal court action to have Obama’s health care law ruled null and void. The court filing states, in part:
"The Act represents an unprecedented encroachment on the liberty of individuals living in the Plaintiffs’ respective states, by mandating that all citizens and legal residents of the United States have qualifying healthcare coverage or pay a tax penalty. The Constitution nowhere authorizes the United States to mandate, either directly or under threat of penalty, that all citizens and legal residents have qualifying healthcare coverage. By imposing such a mandate, the Act exceeds the powers of the United States under Article I of the Constitution and violates the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution."
We hope they win. And quickly!
