FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) - Nearly all of Kentucky's state-level Republican lawmakers have signed a legal brief in support of a lawsuit challenging President Barack Obama's health care overhaul.
State Rep. Tim Moore of Elizabethtown said he's tired of sitting on the sidelines on what is perhaps the biggest issue facing the country.
More than 300 lawmakers from 17 states, including nearly 60 from Kentucky, signed a friend-of-the-court brief that an attorney for the libertarian Cato Institute will file Monday with the U.S. Supreme Court.
The lawmakers contend that Congress violated the Constitution's commerce clause by compelling people to purchase insurance. Congress, they say, has no right to force people to engage in commerce.
