Oklahoma to Join Suit Against Federal Health Care Bill
April 20, 2010
Republican leaders in the Legislature are moving ahead with a suit to challenge the recently passed federal health care bill. They are bypassing Attorney General Drew Edmondson to join action against the measure.
Edmondson has said his staff couldn't find a constitutional basis for a challenge but that he would file suit if the Legislature asked him to do so.
House Speaker Chris Benge says it is obvious Edmondson's heart isn't in it. Benge says we're already starting at a point where the odds are stacked against us so we need to put maximum effort into it and he doesn't sense that coming out of Edmondson's office.
