GOP Attorney General candidate is staking out a position opposite incumbent Steve Six on health care reform, saying Kansas should join other states lawsuit against the national health reform plan. Schmidt, who is a relatively, moderate Republican, doesn't use the inflammatory rhetoric that some do, but its too bad he takes this position because:
1) Most legal scholars think this suit has no merit
2) There's no reason for kansas to join because it's already being done by other states
3) The lawsuit is an obvious political ploy to harness GOP opposition to Obama/health refom.
I suppose election year politics motivates Schmidt to take this position. He has to find differences between him and the incumbent. But health care reform has gotten so tangled up in the partisan divide and been so distorted by conservatives that this lawsuit is awash in politics, not real concern for the constitution.
