Thirteen other state attorneys general also sought to stop the health-care law Tuesday, jointly suing in Florida. But Cuccinelli (R) went his own way, arguing that a Virginia law enacted this month that prohibits the government from requiring people to buy health insurance creates an "immediate, actual controversy" between state and federal law that gives the state unique standing on which to sue.

If the health-insurance mandate is ruled constitutional, Congress undoubtedly will find itself tweaking and revising it over the years. If it's not constitutional, that doesn't mean health reform as a whole is lost.

　まあ、どっかに落としどころということか。
　なんつうか、不思議な国だな米国。
