From Deseret News:
Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff said Thursday he is confident a lawsuit challenging the federal health care reform act will prevail.
Shurtleff’s statements came shortly after the U.S. Department of Justice filed a motion to dismiss the constitutional challenge brought by Utah and 19 other states, the National Federation of Independent Business and individuals affected by the act.
“The Justice Department’s motion contradicts public statements made by the president and legislators on what the health care reform act is all about,” Shurtleff said. “We will press forward against an act that violates the U.S. Constitution and takes away the rights of the states and individual citizens.”
