Adding more states to a case is a good move only if the states initially filing the suit have a good argument.
I’ve not even seen the suit yet, so I have no idea on what grounds they’re basing this challenge. And I’ve seen some pretty dumb ideas being tossed around in the high-level GOP blatherfests.
Oh, and BTW:
“but my rights as a citizen of Wyoming trump those of the wolf”
That’s been pretty much the argument Wyoming has made, ie, the government’s “endangered species” listing is now moot, since there are stable populations, and if wolves are threatening you or your business, your rights supersede that of the wolves.
Still in all the legislature can surely find someone within the State to take up a lawsuit against 0bamacare...
Perhaps we can.
That’s another point that ticks me off a bit here: Has Wyoming been sitting on it’s ass about issues of freedom and liberty recently?
Nope.
Have most states?
Oh yea.
Especially all those states east of the Mississippi.
You can add Colorado to the list. One turned up dead on the White River about a year ago with the collar still beeping. Lots of rumors of sightings south of your Sweetwater County, but nobody's admitting to anything.
Heh, I know how you feel. We Texans are especially protective of our State. I wouldn’t know anything about that personally of course, but I have heard reports to that effect. ;^)
The legislature can compel the Governor to direct the AG to file suit. The Gov is not a King. That is why a special session will in all likelihood be called - the people - the citizens of Wyoming want the State to join the lawsuit - and the legislature will make that clear.
As far as the money issue is concerned - you keep bringing up things we have money for - again we have to set priorities and our own sovereignty heads the list.
