The Left keeps saying that Obamacare is a done deal and that the state-based movement of governors, legislatures, and attorneys general challenging the constitutionality of the individual mandate and other provisions of the bill is an utter waste of time.

But right after the bill passed on Sunday, I got a fundraising appeal from the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee that suggested otherwise:

Health care reform took a big step forward this weekend.
Because of the vote in Congress, those who need help to afford health insurance are about to get it. Discrimination against families with preexisting conditions will soon be illegal. And health care costs are about to decrease for everyone.
But it could all be undone — before the President even has a chance to sign it.
Just like the Republicans in Congress, conservative state lawmakers are committed to seeing reform fail. Worse, they’ve already begun their scheme to undermine the legislation we passed this weekend.
Now it’s up to Democratic state legislators to stand in their way.

States like Utah, Idaho, and Arizona have already passed their anti-reform bills, and conservative lawmakers in 35 states have introduced legislation to make key features of the health care reform plan illegal.
The DLCC stands with Democrats who support the President’s proposal. We know that 30 million uninsured Americans are counting on us to protect health care reform.

With your help, we’ll beat back these attacks and ensure that millions of Americans get access to the health care they deserve.
But we can’t do it alone.

Yeah, I know that politicos seize any opportunity to build their campaign coffers. But either the Democrats believe state political and legal challenges are a real threat to Obamacare, or they are willing to lie to their donors to scam money from them. Which is it?

I prefer to think that there is power in conservative officeholders and average citizens standing together to send the message that they will not simply comply with a disastrous and unconstitutional federal diktat.
