Ten states plan to file a federal lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the new health care reform bill, Florida's attorney general announced Monday.

Bill McCollum, the Republican attorney general under fellow Republican Gov. Charlie Crist, told a news conference that the lawsuit would be filed once President Obama signs the health care bill into law. He said he'll be joined by his counterparts in Alabama, Nebraska, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah and Washington.

All of the attorneys general in the 10 states mentioned by McCollum are Republican, but McCollum said the lawsuit would be about the law and not politics.

Also Monday, Virginia's Republican attorney general said his state would file a lawsuit challenging the health care bill. It was unclear if Virginia would join the other states or proceed on its own.

The Idaho legislature passed a law that requires the Attorney General of our state to sue the federal government if this bill passed and is signed into law.

It is already STATE LAW IN IDAHO to sue over this...so add us to the mix.

The man who despises America

We have a band of traitors running this country. I know of no other way to state it or express it. That is the truth about Barrack Hussein Obama and those in league with him.They have proven by their words, their deeds, and their stances...for decades...what they are, and now they have punctuated it with this God-forsaken, monstrocity social health care bill, and intend to continue punctuating it with amnesty for illegal aliens, a world-wide socialist cap and trade effort...among many other things. They are marxist ideologs who hate the free market, who hate free enterprise, who disdain the constitution and its attending, foundational principles, who reject freedom and personal responsibility, and who promise the wrteched masses that they themselves have created through dependancy, anything they think they want, so they can amass power to themselves and destroy this Republic, its liberty and way of life, and make it over into a decrepid socialist/marxist state where they and their cronies amass tyranical power unto themselves.

This cannot stand...indeed, this MUST NOT STAND. We must press forward to the elections of 2010 and throw these enemies out with such resounding clarity that it cannot be denied either here or abroad what is occurring. We must do so by turning to the constitution and the principles that are its foundation and then electing only those candidates who swear their allegiance to that constitution and those principles.

Nothing else will do.

If, as a people, we do not turn away from the course these quislings and traitors have set us on, then, as history and God are our witness, we will ultimately be left only with same course our own forefathers were compelled to take...that is, the force of arms, in the hands of citizens and citizen soldiers of this country to route these traitors out.

We are at a monumental crossroads in our nations history. We are on a path to self destruction and the loss of our freedom and way of life. But we have the opportunity to turn off that path and return to the principles that have made America free and prospered her.

Rise up O America, your liberty is calling!

Get involved with the effort to find and support constitutional candidates : RESTORE THE CONSTITUTION EFFORT

Come together with, discuss, and plan activities to take back our Republic at : FREERPUBLIC.COM CONSERVATIVE ACTIVISM

Join a TEA PARTY like our founders, to turn this marxism/socialism around TEA PARTY NATION and, or TEA PARTY PATRITOTS

Stay true to your oath to protect and defend the Constitution at OATHKEEPERS - NOT ON OUR WATCH

Sincerely, and in liberty,

Is it safe to say that my home state of North Carolina is no longer part of the South??

[who knows what evil?]

No Tennessee? WTF?

[Nachum]

The list, ping

[abigailsmybaby]

Early this morning Fox News reported there were 38 states filing suits. Were they wrong?

[truthbetold11]

just the beginning

[hope_dies_last]

Can someone explain why Texas is not on this list?

[TC Builders]

I think it is 38 States that got laws against it in the works.

[A_Tradition_Continues]

The list is only state’s AG’s that are filing suit. This doesn’t include state legislation.

[Repeal 16-17]

These lawsuits are nice, but the States must be clear that they will not comply with ObamaCare even if the Supreme Court rules against them. The Constitution must not be allowed to be amended by the vote of 9 (at least not this time).

[A_Tradition_Continues]

Texas AG is spearheading the assault. The State Legislature only meets every two years, hence no legislation, this being an off year.

[A_Tradition_Continues]

He said he'll be joined by his counterparts in Alabama, Nebraska, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah and Washington.

[tobyhill]

Some are just considering and some are ready with pen in hand.

[ninergold3]

I called the Nevada AG’s office today and they are “looking into” joining the lawsuit. They are looking into how it could affect the state ????? There is no specific timeframe as to when they will make the decision so I’ll call every 2-days to see where we stand.

[tobyhill]

This could actually turn into a judicial battle of epic proportions.

[tobyhill]

Gee, your AG’s a little slow. Adding at least 16 million new medicaid recipients and the prospects of Obama granting amnesty to another 12 million illegals is going to affect the state.

[libertyhoundusnr]

Here in MS we have an excellent Governor and a superb AG. I am confident they know when to call “All in”....
