(NewsCore) - A Florida federal judge ruled Monday in a 26-state challenge to the national health care law that the provision requiring individuals to purchase health insurance by 2014 or suffer a penalty is unconstitutional, Fox News Channel reported.
Excerpt, see myfoxdetroit
I’m confused: while the main body of the bill doesn’t go into effect until 2014, a whole bunch of stuff gets phased in before then — including a lot of taxes. If the “whole thing” is unconstitutional, then how come we couldn’t get an injunction on the pre-2014 provisions?
The only thing better than this would be summary judgments from the 11th Circuit and SCOTUS denying the Feds impending appeal.
Just checked dailykos....Crickets, although I thought I heard an occasional nashing of teeth.
>> Now what happens?
The Obama Administration works with Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi to rewrite the bill so that it IS constitutional. Then the Democratic congressional majority rubberstamps the new legislation and sends it to the Senate, and from there, Obama signs the new, constitutional legislation into law.
OH WAIT... sorry, my bad... it seems Pelosi no longer presides over a ‘Rat majority. In fact, she no longer presides over jack squat! heh heh...
Judge Napolitano saying at least 3 years.
Great, great news!!!!!
See my post #36
think of all those congressmen who sold their souls to pass it and get bribed..all for naught..
Damn...I was banking on all this free stuff and these judges screw it up. No health care, no gas, no jobs, no house payments yet....My Magic Negro is 0-4 on freebies...:)

An early B-Day present for the Gipper:

I’m glad it was Megyn who broke it. Shep is a wuss and a metrosexual punk. He’s the kind of guy that probably got slapped around in school for running to the teacher complaining that “those nasty boys are picking on me”. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that he has the same name as one of the Three Stooges! He has already started making disparaging comments about the ruling.
Heard it on FOX, I expect that medical stocks will drop, with a threat of losing the Government gravy train.
This will have to go further though, and actual land mark legislation repealing it will have to pass. It won’t be easy.
Well, Nancy Pelosi did say we had to pass the law to find out what was in it.
It gets appealed to SCOTUS... LOL Where it will fail to pass the constitutionality test as well!
WEWT!
GREAT! No severability clause so it makes the whole thing unconstitutional.
Well after the suicide pact they issued after 2010 elections. THIS should really send them over the edge.
They think the Commerce Clause allows them to do literally anything
