WSJ makes a case for McCollum

Under the headline, "Obamacare and the Constitution," the Wall Street Journal today took Washington to task for attempting to "legally" trample the states on health care.

The constitutional challenges to ObamaCare have come quickly, and the media are portraying them mostly as hopeless gestures the political equivalent of Civil War re-enactors. Discussion over: You lost, deal with it," the Journal editorial stated.

The press corps never dismissed the legal challenges to the war on terror so easily, but then liberals have long treated property rights and any limits on federal power to regulate commerce as 18th-century anachronisms. In fact, the legal challenges to Obamacare are serious and carry enormous implications for the future of American liberty."

In related news, the attorney general of Virginia has joined the fight. That makes 13 states, plus Florida, filing suit against the federal mandate on health care.

Sandi Copes, spokeswoman for Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum's office, told me this morning that "several" more state AGs are expected weigh in "soon."
