Pam Bondi

As new state attorneys general take office in the coming weeks, Bondi expects an increase in the number of states challenging ObamaCare in court. No legislation in our history alters the balance of power between Washington and the states so much as ObamaCare does. The lawsuit brought by 19 states to challenge it is based on the notion that an individual’s decision not to purchase health insurance is not an act of “commerce” that can be regulated under Congress’s constitutionally enumerated powers. If the courts deem the federal health-care law to be constitutional, then there are no meaningful constitutional restraints on Congress’s power to regulate virtually every facet of our lives.
Bondi is the attorney general of Florida.
