Virginia's lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the federal health-care reform law has formally been filed.

Within five minutes of President Obama signing the bill at a White House ceremony this morning, state solicitor general E.

Good. Individuals need to be sued along with the FedGov. How about some bribery charges while we are at it...

The defense is... going to be extremely busy very quickly and I hope they are bogged down with new lawsuits continously. So busy they won’t have time to do anything else.

Let us hope that Anthony Kennedy wakes up on the right side of the bed when this gets to SCOTUS. He’ll be the deciding vote.

Just browsed some of the comments. The commies are up in arms over the outrageous filing fee of $350. They’re so cute when they discover fiscal restraint.
