From Deseret News:
Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff said Monday that Utah will join a group of states in filing a lawsuit against just-approved federal health care legislation as soon as it’s signed today by President Barack Obama.
Shurtleff called the new set of reforms unconstitutional and said Utah is ready to act in defense of its citizens’ rights. “This is one of the biggest federal grabs ever conducted of states’ powers,” Shurtleff said. “We, along with other participating states, will file this complaint as soon as the president signs the bill.”
Shurtleff is one of at least 10 state attorneys general who had promised by Monday to file suit. The other states are Alabama, Colorado, Florida, Michigan, Nebraska, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas and Washington. Officials in North Dakota were weighing whether to join the case.
