Update on VA lawsuit against Healthcare Law

Thank you Conservative Girl for posting this letter from Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli. As I reported on May 26, the Obama administration is filing for dismissal of VA's lawsuit arguing the constitutionality of the Healthcare law. Mr. Cuccinelli explains what is going on better than I can.

Dear My Fellow Virginians,

I am writing you tonight to make sure you know of an important development in Virginia's case against the federal healthcare law. Today, Virginia filed its brief in opposition to the federal government's attempt to dismiss Virginia’s lawsuit against the new federal healthcare law.


While it's over two months since we first filed this suit - in legal terms, this case is moving at a lightning pace!


The US responded to our lawsuit with a motion to dismiss the case - which we fully expected.


Below is a simple but thorough chart which identifies the US's arguments in the case, and explains our response to each one. I would encourage all of you to take a look - and let me know your thoughts!
