Kansas' Democratic attorney general says he won't join legal challenges by other states to the new federal health care law.

In other breaking news, a dog bit a man today ...

I never wondered if the Iowa Attorney General (also a Dem) would join. I'm sure he'd sooner admit to receiving kickbacks from his attorney friends who raked in the dough for settling with Big Tobacco (and, he wouldn't do that in a million years).

Same here in AZ. BUT our GOP lead legislature and the GOP Governor are suing.

You were saying ...

The Soros initiative to place operatives in as many state constitutional offices as possible, seems to be paying off.

Well, with the Supreme Court, all it takes is just one state to get things overturned ...

I would expect nothing less from an AG that lets the Westboro Baptist Church (Phelps/Roper legal extortion racket) to exist.

Well, if any official was going to work on shutting down a church/religious group, no matter who they are -- the first group I would have them working on would be Islam.

We can leave Westboro Baptist Church until after the time all the mosques are removed from this country...

Somehow my fellow Kansans got a bug in their rear and decided they needed a DemocRat for governor. Aging population, I guess.

I warned relatives that she was as bad as electing Hillary and all I got was poo pooed.

Here is a link to my stance on tax reform. I would vote for the FairTax provided the 16th Amendment could be repealed. In the meantime, I support fundamental tax reform, and have signed the Americans for Tax Reform Taxpayer Protection pledge as well. In order for our economy to grow, this burden must be lifted and that comes through real reform, real tax reductions, and resisting tax increases. Thanks!

What a bum. He failed.

It's no big deal in terms of getting a case before the Supreme Court. All it takes is one state to do it and there's already a whole lot more than one... :-)

Are there any Democrat AGs joining the legal challenges to the repressive health care law?

Is the AG the Tin Foil Man from the Land of Kansas Oz?

In the state of WA - another Land of Oz, the AG has joined other states in the action. But the lefty Gov who stole the election was ticked on hearing he did.

At a news conference she blathered on how if she had the chance she could have presented to the citizens all the benefits!

This is good. America already has enough people on this matter. Why let state level Democrats give themselves cover on this issue? Every time one of these skunks pulls “I don't see anything unconstitutional” stuff he opens his state party to demands of where each of them stand on a losing issue not handled at their level. This is all good for us.

The Atty General of the state of Geotgia declined to file a suit for the same reasons. I am not a constitutional scholar, but many who are say the law seems to pass constitutional muster under both commerce and taxation precedents. We shall see what we shall see.

Well Well! Surprise. Time to start a recall petition. If you can’t recall the AG then recall the Governor.
