Tea Party WINS — UPDATE: Yep it’s today — Federal Judge rules Obamacare is unconstitutional!!! —- here’s the PDF of the decision.
“Because the individual mandate is unconstitutional and not severable, the entire Act must be declared void. This has been a difficult decision to reach, and I am aware that it will have indeterminable implications.” – Judge Roger Vinson
The Judge has confirmed what many of us knew from the start: Obamacare is an unprecedented and unconstitutional infringement on the liberty of the American people,” – Florida Governor Rick Scott
UPDATE 2:
And then there is this little gotcha …
“I note that in 2008, then-Senator Obama supported a health care reform proposal that did not include an individual mandate because he was at that time strongly opposed to the idea, stating that ‘if a mandate was the solution, we can try that to solve homelessness by mandating everybody to buy a house,’” Judge Vinson wrote in a footnote toward the end of the 78-page ruling Monday.
END UPDATE:
All eyes are on Florida, as a federal judge in Pensacola could become the second to declare President Barack Obama’s health care reform law unconstitutional.
Judge Roger Vinson is expected to rule Monday on a lawsuit brought on by 26 states, including Florida.
Maybe we should ban lies by politicians, but then they would have nothing to say. hmmm, that would be good.
