From Statesville.com:
While eight North Carolina U.S. Congress members voted against the health care legislation Sunday night, the five Republicans who did so are asking the state’s attorney general to challenge the constitutionality of the new law.
The Tar Heel State’s GOP congressional delegation drafted a letter to Attorney General Roy Cooper asking him to join 14 other states whose attorneys general have filed or are in the process of filing lawsuits opposing the new law.
The letter, which is dated March 24, is signed by Reps. Virginia Foxx and Patrick McHenry — whose 5th and 10th districts, respectively, cover Iredell County — as well as representatives Walter Jones (3rd District), Sue Myrick (9th District) and Howard Coble (6th District).
