Legal experts say a lawsuit filed today by attorneys general from 13 states against the health care bill doesn't have much chance of succeeding -- because under the Constitution, federal laws trump state laws.
The lawsuit challenges the overhaul, saying it's unconstitutional.
It was filed just minutes after President Barack Obama signed the bill.
It names the U.S. departments of Health and Human Services,Treasury and Labor.
Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum is taking the lead in the lawsuit. Attorneys general from South Carolina, Nebraska, Texas, Michigan, Utah, Pennsylvania, Alabama, South Dakota, Louisiana, Idaho, Washington and Colorado are joining in. Other attorneys general may join the lawsuit later or sue separately.
The lawsuit was filed in federal court in Pensacola.
