Jefferson City -- Missouri Republican lawmakers and Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder vow to oppose President Obama's health insurance reform with a lawsuit and by changing the state constitution.
Props to Gov. Sonny Perdue, He's working around his AG!!!
Georgia Attorney General Thurbert Baker, a Democrat, has refused to file an anti-health care mandate lawsuit, and called other AGs decisions to do so political gamesmanship. Undaunted and, of course, very concerned about the rule of law Gov. Sonny Perdue (R-Ga.) is appointing a special attorney general to sue the federal government anyway.
ATLANTA (AP) -- Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue is butting heads with the state's top lawyer, threatening to ''go it alone'' and sue the federal government over a new federal health care law.
As Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum continues to prepare his lawsuit against the U.S. government over the health care law; a provision buried in the bill is raising questions about whether the state lawsuits have any merit before they even get to the courtroom. The only catch to the amendment is that if a state opts-out or the plan, it must set up its own health care system that meets the coverage requirements in the bill. However, the state system can choose to include or not to include an individual mandate; or the state system could choose to include a public option, unlike the federal system.

Two members of the Alabama House of Representatives are fighting back at the state level against the new national health-care law. State Rep. Blaine Galliher, R-Gadsden, and state Rep. Cam Ward, R-Alabaster, have authored legislation that says no person, employer, or health care provider shall be compelled to participate in any health care system
