More states join the court challenge against the Democrats' health care bill

It's going to be a very interesting election campaign, with Democrats defending their massive health care bill, while Republicans are on the side of the 33 states (so far) that are challenging the bill in court. From the Washington Post:

Efforts to block a key provision of the new health-care overhaul law are underway in 33 states, as a growing roster of mostly Republican officials have mounted legal and legislative challenges to an eventual requirement that virtually all Americans buy health insurance or pay a penalty tax.

This Friday, seven more states will formally join a lawsuit originally filed by Florida and 12 other states in late March.
