Hood Refuses to Authorize Barbour to Sue Obamacare

You can read Attorney General Jim Hood's response to Governor Haley Barbour here.

But the short of it is Hood claims the health care bill is really really hard stuff and will take a long long time to read and figure out and he doesn't know how long, but he is refusing to join with the other states (who apparently were able to figure it out much quicker than him) in filing a lawsuit against it to protect Mississippi.

And lest the Governor decides he wants to do so, Hood makes it clear:

so there will be no misunderstanding with regard to the matters set forth above, you are not authorized by this office to engage or employ counsel, file suit, or intervene in pending litigation at this time while we are completing our review and making our decision whether to file suit

Many attorneys believe Obamacare is clearly unConstitutional. Many other attorneys believe it is clearly permissible under the Constitution. But for Hood...dang, its just really hard stuff and he can't figure it out yet.
