The attorneys general of eight states asked the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia this week for permission to join a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.
If approved by the court, Alabama, Georgia, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, Ohio, Texas and West Virginia would join Oklahoma, South Carolina and Michigan in the suit.
