Idado ready to sue over ObamaCare

Similar legislation is pending in 37 other states. Maybe Congressman will take the hint. No one wants socialized health care. If the this does pass all the states can band together and basically say no. We don't want your socialism. Even if it became the law of the land. There would be no way for it to get enforced.

Idaho took the lead in a growing, nationwide fight against health care overhaul Wednesday when its governor became the first to sign a measure requiring the state attorney general to sue the federal government if residents are forced to buy health insurance.

Similar legislation is pending in 37 other states.

Constitutional law experts say the movement is mostly symbolic because federal laws supersede those of the states.

But the state measures reflect a growing frustration with President President Barack Obama's health care overhaul. The proposal would cover some 30 million uninsured people, end insurance practices such as denying coverage to those with pre-existing conditions, require almost all Americans to get coverage by law, and try to slow the cost of medical care nationwide.

Democratic leaders hope to vote on it this weekend.

The AP got one thing wrong. This isn't mostly symbolic. That's not how the founders set up this country. The founders set up this country so the states superseded the federal government. But reporters would actually have to read the Constitution to know that. I wouldn't expect anyone in the AP to be a Constitutional Scholar.
