ORLANDO, FL -- Moments after Congress voted to approve President Obama's health care legislation, Florida's Attorney General announced he will file a lawsuit to declare the bill unconstitutional.
Bill McCollum will join Attorneys General from South Carolina, Nebraska, Texas, Utah, Pennsylvania, Washington, North Dakota and South Dakota to file a lawsuit against the federal government.
"The health care reform legislation passed by the U. S. House of Representatives this evening clearly violates the U.S. Constitution and infringes on each state's sovereignty," McCollum said in a statement distributed late Sunday night.
"If the President signs this bill into law, we will file a lawsuit to protect the rights and the interests of American citizens."
McCollum will hold a press conference at his Orlando office Monday morning to discuss his plans.

Pennsylvania? WTH? You’ve got to be kidding me.
I mean this in a good way, of course.

“the named DEFENDANT in each those lawsuits would be BANKRUPTED from attempting to defend.”
Pelosi is woth HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS, and has zero compulsion about directing taxpayer money to her own pocket.
Check out the sweet deals she’s cut for her husband’s companies.

Ive lost all faith in men...THERE will be NOTHING that can save this country..its a done deal. The courts are set to serve the communist...they will rule for the evil rats. I HAVE LOST FAITH.
In the end, a doctrine of faith is no better than a doctrine of works.
The problem with a doctrine of faith is that it is a doctrine.
Which inevitably leads to the dispair which you are now experiencing.

Are their any legal funds being set up that we can fund?

I felt the same way; but please have faith. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. The evil insane will be thrown out.
Payback is coming. They just don’t know when.
Watch the scum suckers sweat.

These would be valid PERSONAL lawsuits against her from many different jurisdictions. I don't believe such lawsuits can be paid for with taxpayer monies.

I will be personally suing the Federal Govt.

What’s to prevent them from using tax dollars to defend themselves in these lawsuits like Obama is using the AG’s office to defend himself against the eligibility lawsuits?

Thanks for the link — I got their email a short time ago. A group is going to match up to $450 all donations to fund this lawsuit.

Can the AG’s get this fast tracked to SCOTUS?
We got MCCAIN-Feingold thrown out but it took too long.
MCCAIN-Feingold help bring about Dem Congress 2006/2008 and Obama 2008. And people don’t say it was bad GOP members etc etc. It was the TV Newsmedia attacking Repubs 100% 24x7x365 while they give Obama, Rangel, Dood and others a FREE pass on everything.

No, in this case the Federal use of the interstate commerce clause, their 'coverall' for interference in the State's, will have no standing.
The Federal Gov't can't force individuals to buy something.

It might if it adds to their already unsubstandanable burden.
That is why Brown was elected as Senator.

I am not a lawyer and I may be mistaken but, these would be valid PERSONAL lawsuits against Pelosi and other individuals named in separate personal lawsuits from many different jurisdictions. I don't believe such lawsuits can be paid for with taxpayer monies.
