Wrap: Lawmakers rallied against the federal government's health care reform at the state Capitol Wednesday.

As the state faces a major budget crisis, lawmakers decided to pass a non-binding bill Tuesday telling the federal government to keep out of state health care.

Description: "The legal question is: will the Tenth Amendment be used or will there be an issue of a state consitutional amendment vs. a federal statute? Because the issue's never been directly addressed, there isn't a lot of authority short of it having to go through the court system."

Jones says he hopes the courts side with the states.
