Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli will continue to challenge what he calls the “utterly destructive” and “invasive, oppressive” policies of an overstepping federal government.
“States created the federal government, not the other way around,” Cuccinelli said to applause yesterday morning at a Fredericksburg Regional Chamber of Commerce breakfast event.
About 75 people, mostly business and elected leaders, came to the Fredericksburg Country Club yesterday for the Republican attorney general’s 40-minute address.
Cuccinelli has been aggressively challenging the policies of the Obama administration since being sworn in as the state’s attorney general in January.
He compared the administration to the British during the Revolutionary period and said it’s up to the states to challenge federal laws that “trample” the U.S. Constitution and impose crippling regulations on businesses. He said the lawsuits he’s filed are “exactly what the Founders intended.”
