While Nancy Pelosi and her pals are deeming and ducking to find ways to pass what may turn out to be the most hated piece of legislation in the history of our Republic, 38 states have been working to pass legislation to sue Congress should Obama Care rear its ugly head as the law of the land.
Today, Idaho just became the first state to sign such legislation into law.
The AP reported:
Idaho Gov. C.L. “Butch” Otter on Wednesday became the first state chief executive to sign a measure requiring his attorney general to sue Congress if it passes health reforms that force residents to buy insurance. Similar legislation is pending in 37 other states nationwide.
Constitutional law experts say the move is mostly symbolic because federal laws supersede those of the states. But the movement reflects a growing national frustration with President President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul.
Democrats are hoping to pass a version of the reform by this weekend.
Last week, Virginia legislators passed a measure similar to Idaho’s new law, but Otter was the first state chief executive to sign such a bill, according the American Legislative Exchange Council, which created model legislation for Idaho and other states.
