From The Washington Post:
Twenty states are squaring off against the Obama administration on Tuesday in a lawsuit seeking to nullify the sweeping new health-care law.
The suit – originally filed by Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum (R) and the Republican attorneys general of 12 other states within hours of the law’s adoption last March – quickly became the most prominent of several pending legal challenges as seven more states signed on. Two individuals and the National Federation of Independent Business, a small-business association that lobbied vigorously against the law, have also joined. (Virginia has filed a separate lawsuit that awaits a judge’s decision on whether it can move forward.) The lawyers will make their case before a federal judge in Pensacola, Fla.
