Virginia to Ask Supreme Court to Review Healthcare Law 
-------------------------------------------------------



On Thursday, Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli announced that his
state will challenge Obama's healthcare law by bypassing the appeals
process and going straight to the Supreme Court. Cuccinelli said that
conflicting court decisions about the law's constitutionality have
created sufficient uncertainty about implementation of the law to
justify expediting Supreme Court review. The U.S. Department of Justice
will oppose the motion, saying the case should be fully heard by lower
courts before the high court acts.
