Virginia Judge Rules Obamacare UNCONSTITUTIONAL!

We Won Round One!

From Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli,

Today, a federal judge in Richmond ruled the individual mandate of the federal health care law UNCONSTITUTIONAL!

In other words - we won!

This won't be the final round, as this will ultimately be decided by the Supreme Court, but today is a critical milestone in the protection of the Constitution.

I am still fully digesting the court's ruling, so I'll get back to you again later with more details, but I wanted you to hear the good news right away.

Thank so many of you for your support to become the Attorney General of Virginia, and your support since then. Today is a day to celebrate those same first principles that our founding fathers articulated over 200 years ago.

We are proud to defend their work and the same first principles today in the 21st century.

Sincerely,

Ken Cuccinelli, II

Attorney General of Virginia

Cuccinelli ready to take Feds to Court as soon as Obama signs the Bill

Cuccinelli sends Pelosi a Letter

Almost threatening a Supreme Court challenge if she uses the Slaughter strategy......

Dear Speaker Pelosi:

I am writing to urge you not to proceed with the Senate Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act under a so-called “deem and pass” rule because such a course of action would raise grave constitutional questions.

Based upon media interviews and statements which I have seen, you are considering this approach because it might somehow shield members of Congress from taking a recorded vote on an overwhelmingly unpopular Senate bill. This is an improper purpose under the bicameralism requirements of Article I, Section 7 of the U.S. Constitution, one of the purposes of which is to make our representatives fully accountable for their votes.

Furthermore, to be validly enacted, the Senate bill would have to be accepted by the House in a form that is word-for-word identical (Clinton v. City of New York, 524 U.S. 417 (1998)).

Should you employ the deem and pass tactic, you expose any act which may pass to yet another constitutional challenge.

A bill of this magnitude should not be passed using this maneuver. As the President noted last week, the American people are entitled to an up or down vote.

Sincerely,
Kenneth T. Cuccinelli, II
Attorney General of Virginia

UPDATE...Mark Levin’s legal foundation HAS ALREADY PREPARED A LAWSUIT

Cuccinelli's office confirms Virginia will sue over health

Idaho's AG will also sue Federal Government

KEN CUCCINELLI , CAP AND TRADE WILL HURT VIRGINIA

Read it in it's entirety over at RedState

As Attorney General, I will use the tools of the office, including the 10th Amendment, to oppose “Ration and Tax” and to preserve the opportunity for Virginians to have the energy they need to be successful in today’s difficult economy.
