Even with Minnesota and Wisconsin’s Democratic Attorneys General opting to side with the feds rather than defend state sovereignty, the decision to fight ObamaCare in the courts over federal encroachment has become popular. With the addition of five states today, the count has now reached 18 states that will demand action in court to stop the enforcement of the individual mandate, among other matters:
The joint lawsuit led by Florida and now grouping 18 states was filed on March 23. It claims the sweeping reform of the $2.5 trillion healthcare system violates state-government rights in the U.S. Constitution and will force massive new spending on hard-pressed state governments.
South Carolina, Nebraska, Texas, Utah, Louisiana, Alabama, Colorado, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Washington, Idaho, and South Dakota had previously joined Florida’s lawsuit.
“We welcome the partnership of Indiana, North Dakota, Mississippi, Nevada and Arizona as we continue fighting to protect the constitutional rights of American citizens and the sovereignty of our states,” Bill McCollum said.

I think I heard that the NV AG (dem) would not file suit. The NV Governor (Rep) is filing with the assistance of a law firm that is working gratis.
NV gets the "get the job done cheaply" award! It will win the next award once it gets the Reid out of office task accomplished.

I want just ONE to challenge it on the grounds that Barry Soetoro aka B. Hussein 0bama was not qualified to sign the bill into law. I don’t think a court could say a state doesn’t have standing.

18 states - by Obama math that's only 31%. Remember there are 57 states!

Let's concentrate of killing the health care bill rather than traipse down the Birther rat hole. There are more than enough Constitutional reasons to kill it without bringing Obama into it.

8 of those states went for Obama.

Virginia has her own suit. Georgia and Tennessee are working on it over the objections of their AGs. Does anyone know of others?

I believe the Preamble states something about the “blessings of Liberty,” wonder where that went?

MEEECHEEGUNN!!!! YaY! I know! I'm totally shocked. Of course, Michigan isn't NEARLY as Democratic as people think once you remove Wayne County.

Four of the Scotus clowns will flick these pesky state suits away as if they were no more than a booger.
