Was health care reform illegal?

The Washington Post yesterday described the intention of the Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli to challenge the health care reform bill in court by arguing that requiring individuals to purchase health care – the individual mandate — exceeds the federal government’s authority to regulate interstate commerce.  Today, liberal health care blogger Ezra Klein investigates whether or not Cuccinelli has a legitimate legal case against the health care bill.

    In Missouri, the Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder wants to sue the federal government despite the fact that the AG (a democrat) has said he is not filing a suit at this time. Should an individual in power, not aligned with the chief executive (Gov. Jay Nixon, D) of the state, pursue action on behalf of the state? http://www.stltoday.com/stltoday/news/stories.nsf/missouristatenews/story/0894B1D97C8A7912862576F0000CB0CD?OpenDocument
