"A second federal judge ruled on Monday that it was unconstitutional for Congress to enact a health care law that requires Americans to obtain commercial insurance, evening the score at two-to-two in the lower courts as conflicting opinions begin their path to the Supreme Court."

The funeral dirge for Obamacare is getting louder. :godisgood:

Thought Michelle Malkin had an informative article, including Forbes and Heritage pieces on the judge's ruling and the problems it creates for Obamacare supporters.

Judge rules against health law, cites Obama’s words:
“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 his 78-page ruling Monday.

And critics use that as evidence that his ruling is wrong. :rolleyes:
What twisted logic. Reminds me of the global warming causes cold weather insanity. -
