Gov. Sonny Perdue named Frank C. Jones the pro bono Special Attorney General to direct Georgia’s participation in challenging health care reform recently passed by Congress.

Georgia on Tuesday joined the lawsuit filed by 18 other states in federal court in Florida.

“The importance of this legal challenge demands the very best representation possible and that is exactly what the state is receiving from Frank C. Jones,” Perdue said. “Frank is one of the best and most respected lawyers in the state. We are grateful he recognizes the importance of this challenge and is taking up the cause on behalf of Georgians.”

The appointment comes after Democratic Attorney General Thurbert Baker refused a request from Perdue to pursue the case. Republicans inside and outside of Congress argue the law is unconstitutional because it requires individuals and businesses to buy health insurance or face fines. But Baker believes the states don’t have a winnable case.


I called our stupid Gov. AGAIN to tell him how damn dumb he is for spending LOTS of $$ on a suit he cannot win! He's been crying about our State being in dire straights and having to cut all kinds of programs because we have nomoney, and now he pulls this sh*t! It's a damn good thing he is term limited out this yea!!! I hear Roy Barns is leading in the polls (he's a former Dem. Gov. of Ga.) and I sure hope he wins!

This is where we once again apologize for our stupid governor and tell everyone that we are not all dumbasses.

Pardon my French...

The GOP is playing so much to its right fringe base that it doesn't even consult public opinion about its idiocies.

and part of his TV ad says he will repeal the new health care laws! I know he's a Pub and I wouldn't have voted for him anyway, but as soon as I heard those words, I KNEW I would never vote for him.
