Pam Bondi: Complete freaking ideologue on health care

Need Rightardia say more? 

Tampa — Today, Attorney General- Elect Pam Bondi issued the following statement after the oral phone arguments on Florida’s legal challenge to the new federal health care law:

Today’s hearing demonstrated that the health care law depends on a vision of limitless federal power that is completely contrary to our Constitution. As Attorney General, I will continue to fight back on behalf of Florida’s families and businesses against this unconstitutional and unaffordable law. 

Nineteen states already have joined Florida’s lawsuit, and we look forward to increasing that number as other states’ newly-elected leaders take office next year.

Arguments were heard in the Northern District Federal Court in Pensacola at 9:00 CST. Attorney General-Elect Bondi participated in today’s hearing via a call in line, which allowed her to hear the oral arguments.

Floridians elected a lightweight when they made Buffy Bondi, a Fox News legal analyst, the State's Attorney General. Her previous claim to fame we being named to the Tampa Bay's Best Dressed list in 2009.


State Rep. Rick Kriseman (D-St. Petersburg), the policy chair of the Florida House Democratic Caucus, released the following statement on the opening arguments on the same lawsuit filed in Pensacola:
 
It remains a severe disappointment that the Office of Attorney General of Florida, with the support of Republican legislative leadership, continues to waste taxpayer dollars advancing a partisan political agenda with a lawsuit that, on thin legal ground, threatens to unravel historic advancements in health care for all Americans.

Rather than attempting to squelch the rights of citizens to obtain quality medical care, Florida’s elected leaders should embrace their responsibility to implement the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. I am confident that full deployment of the act will not only improve the lives of all Floridians but also will prove to be a needed boost to our economy.

Like many Floridians, I am hopeful that the courts will recognize that the new health law and its individual mandate to purchase health insurance lies well within the authority of Congress to regulate health insurance companies.
