The Fight Against Obamacare Continues…

…and Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli is leading the charge.  The federal government responded to Virginia’s lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the individual mandate with a motion to dismiss the case, a move which was fully expected by Cuccinelli and his team.  The federal government has to file its reply brief by June 22nd, and then the oral arguments on the motion to dismiss will take place on July 1st at 10 a.m. – one hour for each side.  If Virginia’s case is not dismissed and moves forward, a summary judgment hearing is scheduled for October 18th.  There will be a webcast meeting on June 16th–next Wednesday–to discuss the case and its foundation.  You can sign up by clicking here.

I Support Ken Cuccinelli’s Fight Against Socialized Medicine

On Tuesday, March 23, 2010, President Obama signed into law a health care bill of historic proportions.  That bill includes an individual mandate on Americans that declares that they must buy health insurance or face penalties.  This overreaches the authority of Congress under the Commerce Clause and is therefore unconstitutional.  Yesterday, Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli filed a suit in federal district court in Richmond challenging the constitutionality of this legislation.  It is heartening that there are public servants who still believe in, and are willing to defend, the United States Constitution.

The United States Senators and Representatives who passed this legislation have betrayed their oath of office.  Since they’ve long forgotten, here it is:

I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution…

Steve Shannon couldn’t give a straight answer.  His transparent attempt to dodge this most basic question should raise serious doubts in the minds of all voters of Steve Shannon’s ability to be an effective Attorney General.  When you run for public office, you should have a pretty good handle on the specific roles and responsibilities of the office.  Ken Cuccinelli is the best candidate, hands down.  (hat tip: Black Velvet Bruce Li)
