Now that 14 state attorneys general have filed lawsuits challenging the constitutionality of the new health reform law, Oregon's AG John Kroger and Governor (and former AG) Ted Kulongoski have announced their plans to defend the new law.
From Legal Newsline: Oregon Attorney General John Kroger could be headed for the most high-profile legal fight of his career, vowing to defend the national health care overhaul that many of his Republican counterparts around the nation are attacking in the courts.
The first-term Democratic attorney general and Oregon Gov. Ted Kulongoski, a former state Supreme Court justice, announced Wednesday that the Beaver State will take legal action to defend the constitutionality of the nearly $1 trillion health care bill signed by President Barack Obama last week.
Kroger is the first state attorney general to announce that he will take steps to defend the law ... "Opponents of the bill seek to turn back the constitutional clock 100 years, returning to a time when the United States Supreme Court routinely struck down legislation designed to protect the health, safety and well-being of the American people," Kroger said. ... "I'm proud to have Oregon stand up in court and defend this legislation, which will extend health care to thousands of Oregonians and millions of uninsured Americans," Kulongoski said.
