Mandate Unconstitutional

PENSACOLA, Fla. (AP) A federal judge in Florida says the Obama administration's health overhaul is unconstitutional, siding with 26 states that had sued to block it. U.S. District Judge Roger Vinson accepted without trial the states' argument that the new law violates people's rights by forcing them to buy health insurance by 2014 or face penalties. The case is likely to go to the U.S. Supreme Court. Two other federal judges have upheld the insurance requirement, but a federal judge in Virginia also ruled the insurance requirement unconstitutional.

WOOT!

Again, it's been upheld in other courts already. USSC will be the final word (I bet 5-4 party line vote against it).

Yes other courts have, unfortunately, upheld it. It will be interesting to see how it all plays out.

It's going to hinge on whether refusal to buy a thing counts as an act.
