Senate Republicans Join Florida's Legal Challenge of Obamacare

Even as Attorney General Bill McCollum and incoming Attorney General Pam Bondi asked 13 other states to join the constitutional challenge to new federal health-care laws backed by President Barack Obama, 32 Republicans in the U.S. Senate filed a brief in support of the lawsuit.

If this law is held constitutional, there will be no limit on what activities Congress can require its citizens to do, said outgoing U.S. Sen. George LeMieux. It is that serious.

I hope the courts recognize Congress overstepped its authority, the authority intended by our nations founders, and that this mandate will be thrown out, added LeMieux, who may be running against Democratic U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson, a supporter of the laws, in 2012.
