Breakthrough: U.S. District Judge Roger Vinson: Mandate to require buying health insurance too far
There are 2 articles on this great topic:
1. Judge strikes down healthcare reform law:
2. Judge uses Obama’s words against him:

The first article has to be read. In the article, it includes the judge who said:
“Because the individual mandate is unconstitutional and not severable, the entire act must be declared void,” he wrote, “This has been a difficult decision to reach and I am aware that it will have indeterminable implications.
one of my most favorites had to be the bad response. To me, it says, “No! No! We are not defeated. I am appealing this to mommy!!!!!” Here it is:
“We strongly disagree with the court’s ruling today and continue to believe — as other federal courts have found — that the Affordable Care Act is constitutional,” Justice Department spokeswoman Tracy Schmaler said.
A White House official told reporters the administration planned to continue with implementation of the law.
“We’ll continue to operate as we have previously and suspect that the states will do the same,” said the senior administration official, who asked not to be named.
“Obviously this case will be appealed … and so implementation would proceed apace … This is not the last word by any means,” the official said.

In the second article, the judge used Obama’s words against him:
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.
They are both very good articles if you enjoy the thought of No Obamacare or as I like to say, “NObamacare”. Here they are again:
