Reporter: Do you support the lawsuit?

Tillis: "I haven't looked at the specifics of the lawsuit so it would be difficult for me to comment. What I should say though is I support anything that ultimately takes a failed health care plan - Obamacare - off the table so that we can start talking about a sustainable one."
