Virginia Attorney General Urges Judge to Let Suit Over Health-Care Law Proceed
(Washington Post) — Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli II told a federal judge Monday that he should let a suit challenging the constitutionality of the federal health-care law proceed and deny a request by the Obama administration that the case be dismissed.
In 41-page memorandum, Cuccinelli argued that federal lawyers acting on behalf of Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius were off base when they contended that Virginia has no standing to sue over the law, a key claim of the government’s motion that the case be dismissed. Cuccinelli also disputed that Congress has the right to mandate that individuals buy health insurance or pay a fine under its constitutional right to regulate interstate trade.
