Reuters) - The Justice Department will "vigorously defend" the new healthcare reform law against any lawsuits brought, a spokesman for the department said, after 14 state attorneys general filed challenges to the overhaul signed into law by President Barack Obama on Tuesday.

Time to have a good fight.

The list, ping

[dcgst4]

I’m pretty confident in the “reset” amendment...

[PennsylvaniaMom]

Kinda like the approval Neville Chamberlain bestowed upon that odd little German guy...

[madison10]

You mean the one stacked with Obamites?

[K-oneTexas]

I am hoping they attack it as unconstitutional on several fronts.

10th Amendment. 13 Amendment. Commerce Clause not applicable. etc.

[HerrBlucher]

Being the thugs they are I have no doubt there will be implied or maybe even direct threats to the conservative members of the supreme court. We are in for same major fireworks within a year.

[Venturer]

Is that the same Justice Department, that Obama’s butt buddy Eric Holder is in charge of???

[henkster]

While they threw in the towel on ACORN de-funding.

[jakerobins]

The people in the Justice Department wouldn’t know Constitutionality if it was right in front of their stupid faces.....

If this is approved by SCOTUS, it will essentially be saying government can require you to:

buy healthcare insurance
buy a Chevrolet
buy a cuckoo clock
buy a shag carpet for your garage

There will be NO FREEDOM. Like Bill McCollum said, this is a “living tax”, a tax for just being alive.

Sun rose in the east this morning.

My understanding is that all we need is one federal judge to issue an injunction somewhere in the country in response to one of these multitudes of lawsuits and we can put Obamacare on hold for as long as a couple years as the suit works its way through the system.

Certainly we can find one conservative federal judge who will be more than happy to throw a wrench in Obama scheme.

Did anyone remind them that the Supreme court is not under their jurisdiction?

[ataDude]

Well, of course they will. Did you expect otherwise?

I’m confident health law is unconstitutional, I’m not confident any of our law makers will follow and decide with the constitution.

If this is constitutional then there’s no limits in which the Government can control the people.

What a shock, the commie rats like tyranny and don’t give a damn about that old piece of parchment.

Never in my wildest dreams did I expect the Soviet Politburo to set up shop alongside the Potomac, but that they did.
