We told them so but they were so much smarter. Some of them relied on the “Commerce clause” and some on the “Good and Welfare clause”, but in the end they probably read as much of the Constitution as they did the Health Care Reform bill.
U.S. District Judge Roger Vinson, appointed to the bench by Republican President Ronald Reagan, ruled that the reform law’s so-called individual mandate went too far in requiring that Americans start buying health insurance in 2014 or pay a penalty. “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. Regardless of how laudable its attempts may have been to accomplish these goals in passing the Act, Congress must operate within the bounds established by the Constitution,” the judge ruled.
Unfortunately, it’s going to suck being Judge Roger Vinson for the next few months as the media has already declared his decision partisan, rather than Constitutional… you know, like the Democrats did last March when they passed the bill in the first place.
