From LjWorld:
Four Republican legislative leaders on Thursday said they want Attorney General Steve Six, a Democrat, to challenge his party’s proposed health care reform.
The GOP legislators — Senate Majority Leader Derek Schmidt, of Independence, who is running for attorney general; Senate Vice President John Vratil of Leawood; House Majority Leader Ray Merrick of Stilwell; and House Speaker Pro Tem Arlen Siegfried of Olathe — say the Democratic health care reform proposals include unconstitutional provisions.
“With luck and a little persuasion, perhaps a majority in Congress will come to its senses and conclude that our nation’s health care can be reformed without disregarding the Constitution,” the four legislators wrote in a letter to Six. “But if they don’t, then it will be up to you and to us to protect the Constitution we are sworn to uphold and to preserve the liberties of the Kansans we represent.”
