Virginia to Ask Supreme Court to Review Healthcare Law

HeadlineFeb 04, 2011

On Thursday, Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli announced that his state will challenge Obama’s healthcare law by bypassing the appeals process and going straight to the Supreme Court. Cuccinelli said that conflicting court decisions about the law’s constitutionality have created sufficient uncertainty about implementation of the law to justify expediting Supreme Court review. The U.S. Department of Justice will oppose the motion, saying the case should be fully heard by lower courts before the high court acts.
