Haley Barbour issued a press release today as he requested Attorney General Jim Hood to review the recently passed healthcare legislation and bring suit on behalf of the state challenging the constitutionality of various portions of the new law.

In December, Hood essentially said he wanted no part in a lawsuit being proposed by various AGs across the country. There is no good reason to believe Hood’s position has changed. Therefore, Barbour said he will file a lawsuit if Hood declines.

Barbour’s press release, and letter to Hood is below:

Governor Haley Barbour today requested Attorney General Jim Hood challenge the constitutionality of the healthcare reform legislation approved by the U.S. Congress.

The bill has serious constitutional problems, Governor Barbour said, starting with the fact that it forces individuals to purchase health insurance.

You GO, Haley!! I’d LOVE to see MS join this, especially since we’re planning to move back there as soon as we can!

Barbour is putting the squeeze on Dem AG Hood.

Time to flush Hood out on this issue!

“I hope this health care plan covers hearing aids, because it’s clear Democrats who voted for it have not heard the majority of Americans who didn’t want government-controlled health care crammed down their throats.”
