Dozens of members of Congress and more than 70,000 Americans are represented in a new legal brief filed by a pro-life legal group supporting the lawsuit in Florida against ObamaCare.
The American Center for Law and Justice today filed an amicus brief with a federal court in Florida on behalf of 63 members of Congress in support of Florida’s lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the federal health care law.
The Florida brief is the ACLJ’s latest effort, which includes backing Virginia’s legal challenge and a lawsuit of its own, contending the individual mandate forcing Americans to purchase health insurance violates the Constitution.
“The health care law is not only the wrong prescription for the nation, it’s a constitutionally flawed measure that we believe ultimately will be rejected by the courts and the American people,” said Jay Sekulow, the legal group’s chief counsel.
