Virginia v. Sebelius

Moments after President Obama signed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) into law on 23-Mar-2010, the Commonwealth of Virginia filed a Complaint in the Federal District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia and thereby commenced a civil lawsuit against the Secretary of Health and Human Services, the United States officer primarily responsible for implementation of the PPACA. The case, #3:10-cv-188, was initially assigned to Judge Robert E. Payne, who immediately recused himself. The case was subsequently reassigned to Judge Henry E. Hudson.

The Defendant's Motion to Dismiss was denied on 02-Aug-2010 and the Defendant filed her Answer to the Complaint on 16-Aug-2010.
