RICHMOND, Va. - A federal appeals court in Virginia dismissed two lawsuits Thursday that had challenged the constitutionality of President Barack Obama's health care overhaul.

The three-judge panel of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in both lawsuits — one filed by Virginia Attorney General Kenneth Cuccinelli, the other by Liberty University — that the plaintiffs did not have standing to sue. The court did not delve into the constitutional issues.

The Richmond-based appeals court is the third appellate court to rule in lawsuits challenging the health care reform law, which requires individuals to buy health insurance or pay a penalty. A federal appeals court in Cincinnati also upheld the law, but an appeals court in Atlanta struck down the insurance mandate.

Two of the judges on the Virginia panel were appointed by Obama, the other by Bill Clinton.

The attorney general and Liberty claimed the insurance mandate was unconstitutional. In his challenge, Cuccinelli claimed standing because the federal law conflicts with a state law that says no Virginian can be compelled to buy insurance. The appeals court rejected that claim.

More than 30 lawsuits have been filed over the law. The U.S. Supreme Court will have the final say.

another one bites the dust

This is off topic, but it's starting to set off a red flag for me. What is all this green, under-lined linked words, like dating and health insurance about ? It reminds me of those scamming emails I get from people who get credit if I click on the link (through a code or series of numbers associated with their account). Does anyone know?

Sorry for buttin' in Lucy. But curious minds want to know and all that?

*************************************************************

Now, as to the topic, I say Bravo for the federal courts!!!

If you're seeing them in either the op's post or the linked article I think you have some sort of malware. I'd run a comprehensive scan with adaware.

Thanks, Lucy. It popped up on another word the other day too. On a post I wrote. I saw it underlined when servantforuse said the word dating and see it now again when you said health insurance. Sooooo...I guess running a malware scan is in order for me. Thanks again, good people!!
