Bill McCollum and Pam Bondi Ask More States to Join Suit Against Obamacare

On Thursday, incoming Attorney General Pam Bondi joined outgoing Attorney General Bill McCollum in sending a letter encouraging incoming attorneys general and governors across the nation to join the suit McCollum launched against new federal health-care laws backed by President Barack Obama.

Having a majority of the states litigating our constitutional rights is a powerful message, wrote McCollum and Bondi. We feel, as many of you do, that it is incumbent particularly upon attorneys general to defend the principles of federalism under our Constitution. We also share your concerns about the significant impact that the federal health care law, as an unfunded mandate, will have on your state budgets.

The Wall Street Journal ran an editorial calling for more states to join the suit earlier in the day.
