14 attorneys general in various states are suing the federal government and claiming that the health care reform bill is unconstitutional. (Comcast has the story via the AP.) As I've talked about before, health care reform measures are constitutional. (You can see all previous health care reform coverage here.) There are some experts who think that the health care reform bill unconstitutional, but I think most of the people who claim it is unconstitutional realize that it's not, and are just hoping for another Bush v. Gore moment.
These lawsuits are mainly publicity mechanisms for the attorneys general involved. It should come as no surprise to anyone that the person behind this is running for governor of his home state this fall. These frivolous lawsuits will undoubtedly fail, but they may provide a political boost to those pursuing them.
(H/T to the amazing vote_larry for pointing me to the article.)
