According to the Albuquerque Journal, ten state Democrats, have made the decision to be visible supporters of the legal effort to try to insure that Obamacare (Affordable Care Act) is found to be constitutional when the case comes before the Supreme Court of the U.S. this spring.
The ten New Mexico legislators, all Democrats, signed a legal brief that supports the massive 2009 law that imposes unprecedented controls on the health care delivery system in the U.S. through nearly 3,000 pages of statute and countless rules related to the regulation. Those supporting Obamacare and signing the brief include State Senators Dede Feldman, Mary Jane Garcia, Cisco McSorley, Jerry Ortiz y Pino, and Peter Wirth. Also signing the brief were New Mexico Representatives Gail Chasey, Eleanor Chavez, Miguel Garcia, Mimi Stewart and Al Park.
Many state Attorneys General around the nation have successfully challenged the constitutionality of the law in federal district and appellate courts.
