"I am going to be sitting with our attorney general and ask him to join the (health care reform) lawsuit against the federal government," he said, adding he just learned that if 35 states join the suit, the law "dies, automatically." Twenty states so far have joined the suit, filed in federal court in Florida, to repeal the provision in health care reform law that requires individuals to purchase health insurance.
Does anyone have a clue what this blockhead is talking about? My guess is that some actual fact about the number of states needed to ratify a constitutional amendment or something got passed down the right wing tea bagger line in an epic game of telephone until it somehow morphed into the "35 state veto" claim.
Seriously, people of Maine...this is what you have elected GOVERNOR. The general manager of Marden's. You should definitely not have bought it when ya saw it. Oh, and kudos to Kennebec Journal reporter (i.e. stenographer) who reported this gem of a quote without bothering to fact check it at all! Way to be the guardian of truth, Rebecca Metzler!
