Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli today makes his case to keep his lawsuit against President Barack Obama’s federal health-care reform legislation alive and kicking.

Cuccinelli and a team of deputy attorneys general will argue before U.S. District Court Judge Henry E. Hudson against a motion by lawyers for the Obama administration to dismiss Virginia’s challenge to the legislation.
