Minnesota Republicans are ramping up their protest of health care overhaul.
All GOP Minnesota legislators to ask Attorney General to sue over health care
Republicans ramping up their protest
By rachelsb
Republican Gov. Tim Pawlenty asked state Attorney General Lori Swanson to review the measure; U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann introduced legislation "to repeal the Democrats' government takeover of health care " and Tuesday all 68 Minnesota Republican lawmakers will ask the attorney general to "prepare a lawsuit" in response to the health care bill.
The chances of repeal may be slim and the possibility of a lawsuit prepared by the Democratic attorney general (herself up for re-election this fall) might be remote, but it is at least a bit remarkable that the entire Minnesota House and Senate caucus agreed on the move.
