RICHMOND, Va. -- Virginia's attorney general has formally asked the U.S. Supreme Court to consider his challenge of a key portion of the Obama administration's health care reform law. Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli's office said Wednesday it filed a petition late Tuesday to leapfrog an appeals court review scheduled for May. Cuccinelli had announced his intention to seek the review last week.

Hooray! Hope some of the other 27 states do the same.

Greta will be so happy! The day Obamacare was ruled unconstitutional, she had on a half dozen AGs from suing states and told each one they should skip the appeals process and go straight to the Supreme Court. I hope they all do, when it comes to the courts Greta knows her stuff.

But the Justice Department says the Virginia challenge should first be heard by an appeals court because it's based on a state law. The department says there's sufficient time for the case to work its way up to the Supreme Court.

I am assuming the Rats are not eager to go to the SCOTUS because the deck is not stacked in their favor and by buying time a seat might open.

Stalling is what Obama does best, except when it comes to destroying America and living it up on the taxpayers' dime.
