The chairman of the Republican Attorneys General Association, Scott Pruitt (R-OK), called for the “battle” against “Obamacare” to forge ahead in Congress. Several Republican attorneys general were plaintiffs in the case.
Here’s the statement:
“We disagree with the decision on the unconstitutionality of the health care act and find it disturbing that the Court did not place a limit on the power of the federal government to control the lives of Americans through the Commerce Clause. But, the battle isn’t over.”
“It now is up to the political process to repeal the act and replace it with measures that address the health care crisis within the confines of the Constitution. We must continue to oppose this act and multiple overreaching regulations proposed by the Obama Administration that cross the line of federal power.”
“This fall, the American people will have the opportunity to save the country from a disastrous future of similar intrusive policies and budget-busting costs by choosing their leaders wisely. Freedom and flexibility must remain with the states whose leaders know best how to care for the needs of their citizens.”
“Republican attorneys general will continue to serve as a firewall, taking every action to defend our states against this massive overreach from the federal government.”
