Governor Peter Kinder</a> has lost another round in his battle against President Obama’s federal health care law.</p><p><a href="http://www.ca8.uscourts.gov/">The 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals</a> ruled Thursday that the Republican Lt. Governor has no legal standing to file suit because the Affordable Care Act poses no immediate threat to Kinder’s legally protected interests.&nbsp; He filed suit two years ago as an individual, not in his official capacity as Lt. Governor.&nbsp; The three-judge panel’s ruling did not address the constitutionality of the federal health care law, most of which was upheld last year in a 5-4 ruling by the U-S Supreme Court.
