Liberty University Inc., et al. v. Geithner, 671 F.3d 391 (4th Cir. 2011)

(state of VA lacks standing to challenge individual mandate provision in Patient Protection and Affordable Health Care Act (Act) of 2010; Liberty University cannot challenge Act before mandate provision becomes effective in 2014; no dissenting opinions filed; VA had argued that it had standing due to the Act conflicting with state law that protects VA citizens from the Act's individual mandate provision, but court disagreed and stated, "When a state brings suit seeking to protect individuals from a federal statute, it usurps this sovereign prerogative of the federal government and threatens the 'general supremacy of federal law'"; court did not address question of constitutionality of individual mandate).
