Washington to join lawsuit over mandate

The Seattle Times reports:
State Attorney General Rob McKenna said Monday he'll join a lawsuit challenging the health-care overhaul passed by Congress, prompting a barrage of attacks from Gov. Chris Gregoire and other state Democratic leaders.

McKenna is among at least 10 state attorneys general who say they will sue, arguing the legislation's requirement that everyone purchase health insurance is an unconstitutional expansion of federal authority.
