Hotline: Kentucky's Attorney General Jack Conway Refuses to Join Healthcare Lawsuit

Conway Refuses To Join Lawsuit

March 23, 2010 5:52 PM
By Erin McPike

KY AG Jack Conway (D) is wading into the health care debate, announcing Tuesday he will not file a lawsuit against the federal government in trying to refuse the legislation.

"I do not intend to use my authority as Kentucky Attorney General to sign our Commonwealth onto a health care lawsuit against the federal government, because I will not waste taxpayer dollars on a political stunt," Conway said in a statement provided to Hotline OnCall.

Earlier today, Sec/State Trey Grayson blasted Dems in Congress for passing health care, "despite overwhelming and bipartisan opposition."

Grayson continued, "Fortunately, there is still an opportunity to prevent this intrusion into our lives as more than a dozen states have declared their intent to challenge this law in court. Today I call on Kentucky Attorney General Jack Conway to join in this effort and file suit against the federal government for the unconstitutional overreach of its authority with the passage of this health care legislation."

"Trey Grayson's gimmick may be good 'tea party' politics, but it's based on questionable legal principles," Conway said.

4. Conway running for Bunning's seat is the only Senatorial candidate

that has supported HCR. The tool, Dan Mongiardo, Lt. Gov (D), also running for senate, was big time against it. I like Conway & he gets my vote. Our blue dog, Ben Chandler, voted against HCR. HE will NEVER get my vote again. I will not vote repub, I just won't vote for the People's Rep next time. I am sorry for the sons-of-bitches we have visited on the nation. Chandlers vote, from the 'progressive' KY 6th was a heartbreaker. Happy rolled over.

17. I find it bizarre he gets elected in this district

There ought to be enough evil hippie liberal evildoers between Lexington, Richmond and especially Berea to get someone more to the left in.

16. Good. I'm definitely leaning towards him over Mongiardo.

Not that either really excite me, but I'm glad he's putting his foot down on this nonsense.
