CINCINNATI (The Blaze/AP) — In the first ruling by a federal appeals court on President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul, a judicial panel in Cincinnati on Wednesday affirmed an earlier ruling that Congress can require Americans to have minimum insurance coverage (commonly referred to as the “individual mandate”).

And we want to consider again another one with 'Texas' lineage to the throne?
Two other similar courts have ruled against Obama care. What does this say about our judicial system and it’s judges. Seems like a good place to cut back and stop the intrusion of funny educated judges from interfering in normal peoples lives, not to say anything about savings to the taxpayers.
Why can’t our courts insist that if you have children then you must support them? Is that too far fetched? Hell, over forty per cent of Americans have no skin in the game. If you can make them buy health care, why can’t you make them pack a lunch for their f**k trophies?
Speak of this court with contempt.
