Kentucky AG: Health Care Lawsuits Are Baseless Tea Party Meandering
Sam Stein

The attorney general of Kentucky is dismissing calls from leading Republican officials to sue the federal government to block the recently passed health care legislation.

In an interview with the Huffington Post, Jack Conway, a Democratic candidate for Senate and current Kentucky AG, described talk of health care lawsuits as the baseless meandering of Tea Party conspiracy theorists; not to mention a potentially large waste of taxpayer money.

"Most constitutional scholars looking at this issue say it is absolutely clear that these lawsuits will not be successful," Conway said. "While it may make for good Tea Party politics for Rand Paul and Sarah Palin, it makes for really lousy lawsuits. And I'm not going to waste the taxpayer resources of the people of Kentucky on political stunts."

"The last thing I need is a lecture on the constitutional law from Rand Raul or Sarah Palin," he added.

1. Well GO! AG Conway......................
Democrats are growing backbones all over the country, even in the South. It does my heart good to see it.

2. Our AG refused to sue
But the governor wanted to and the Legislature passed a law enabling her to do so. But they cut off health care for poor kids because there wasn't enough money. Why? So they can throw it away on this shit? Crap. (Arizona, obviously.)
