OMAHA, Neb. (AP) – Nebraska Attorney General Jon Bruning is
heading back to Nebraska after flying to Atlanta for the latest
round in the legal fight over President Barack Obama’s health care
overhaul.
Bruning was in a federal courtroom in Atlanta on Wednesday as a
three-judge panel of the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals heard oral
arguments on whether to reverse a Florida judge’s ruling that
struck down the law.
Bruning and the attorneys general of some 26 other states
opposing the law argue that Congress didn’t have the power to
require virtually all Americans to pay for health insurance. The
Justice Department says the legislative branch exercised its
“quintessential” right.
