From newsleader.com:
On July 1, Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli entered oral argument for Virginians’ liberty from the federal mandate to buy health insurance. The court case, Commonwealth of Virginia vs. Sebelious, is not about health care. It is about liberty. It is about one of the first principles of our Constitution to keep our God-given, individual right to choose what we do with our lives and not be forced to purchase a product mandated by the federal government.
The unconstitutional federal mandate is in conflict with Virginia’s state law, H.B. 10, Health Care Freedom Act. The right to make laws of this kind, according to the Constitution, is the purview of state governments. Virginia law cannot be ignored or trampled on by the out-of-control federal government. Virginians want our day in court on the point that the feds cannot force us to buy health insurance and we cannot be fined if we choose not to buy the insurance. The Tenth Amendment is very specific in that regard.
“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”
