“To protect all Texans’ constitutional rights, preserve the constitutional framework intended by our nation’s founders, and defend our state from further infringement by the federal government, the State of Texas and other states will legally challenge the federal health care legislation,” Abbott said in a written statement late Sunday night after the U.S. House of Representatives approved the measure.
The legislation is headed to Obama to sign, which could happen Tuesday.
“We plan to file the moment Obama signs the bill,” Abbott said in a posting on Facebook. Attorneys general for several other states indicated Monday they would join the lawsuit.

March twenty first two thousand and ten, A date that will live in infamy, the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by…well you how it goes.
“No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the American people in their righteous might will win through to absolute victory.”

And, today, March 22nd is the anniversary of the Stamp Act of 1765 which got things rolling here in the Colonies…
Of course, the Stamp Act was repealed about a year later… Let’s hope that is what happens to Health Care Deform.

Yes, but he beats, “A free $3,500.00 credit card for every low income person” Bill White. Or a free down payment on a new home for the welfare people who cannot afford to make monthly payments, Bill White.

CavMom,
Too true.
I’m just tired of voting for the lesser of two evils.
And of seeing that asshat Farouk’s campaign signs still on the fence by
I10.

I agree, and I am still holding perry’s feet to the fire for his push with the NAFTA Super highway project.
I was really hoping for some new blood cursing through the State capital.

Good one! – Using “cursing” for “coursing.” Had me laughing.

π good catch. the cursing vs coursing was truly a freudian slip. Albiet the cursing just mught be coming from my corner due to the current state of the Government.
24 March, 2010 at 12:29 pm
Well, your Freudian slip is worthy of repeating; and, often!

I read today that Gov. Jindal has asked the attorney general to join the others in the lawsuit.

Good news! Thanks for the update.

Good news. From an article I read “The Attorney General’s Office plans to file a lawsuit challenging the overhaul.” So, add Louisiana to the list.

“I fully expect that list to continue growing.”
I do hope and pray it will, and that they will be successful. The Left has shown it’s true colors, as do those fool enough to continue following them.

I read that Michigan, Colorado, and Idaho have joined in with filing lawsuits. One report stated 36 states have filed, but I cannot find a list or anything to back it up.
24 March, 2010 at 11:50 am
Yeah, it’s a little difficult to track down which states are filing. I’ll look into that and see what I can find, later on.

Read an article that the Governor of Georgia asked his AG to file, but the AG (a political buddy of the O-man) declined for state financial reasons.
