EXCERPTS:

‘Florida Atty. Gen. Bill McCollum has chosen a favorable forum for the lawsuit. He filed the complaint in Pensacola, in the conservative northern district of the state, and it was assigned to U.S. District Judge Roger Vinson, an appointee of President Reagan. From there, the case would probably move to the U.S. Court of Appeals in Atlanta, which also has a conservative reputation.’

‘Virginia Atty. Gen. Ken Cuccinelli filed a separate suit, and last month a federal judge in Virginia strongly hinted that he was inclined to strike down all or parts of the law. “Never before has the Commerce Clause … been extended this far,” U.S. District Judge Henry Hudson wrote in rejecting the Obama administration’s plea to dismiss Virginia’s complaint.’
