Federal Judge Rules Obamacare Individual Mandate Is Unconstitutional…
Romneycare hardest hit.
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — A federal judge in Pennsylvania has ruled that the requirement in President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul that individuals buy health insurance is unconstitutional.
Judge Christopher Conner in Harrisburg issued the ruling Tuesday in one of more than 30 lawsuits nationwide that have been filed over the law. He says the individual mandate is an unconstitutional extension of authority granted to the federal government under the Constitution’s commerce clause.
The suit was filed by a York County couple.
Separate lawsuits have already reached appeals courts in Richmond, Va., Georgia and Cincinnati, with two of those courts ruling in favor of the mandate. The matter is expected to be settled by the U.S. Supreme Court.

President Obama serving as President should be found Unconstitutional as well!
Concentrating on the individual part of this is like getting sucker punched. We are watching the right hand while the left gets ready to rope-a-dope knockout our financial asses.
Oboma is unconstitutional and so is his commie deathcare bill. Just get it to the Supreme Court for gods sakes. All of these state budgets being drained filing law suits to tell us what we already know. It’s UNCONSTITUTIONAL and anyone with common sense knows it.
Yay!
@Paul….”AMEN and AMEN Paul”
The ruling from the 4th federal circuit court of appeals was by a Clinton-appointed judge (Motz). Go figure. She VACATED the ruling from the Florida federal circuit judge that Obamacare is unconstitutional– means that (SHE says) the Commonwealth of Virginia has no legal standing in the matter– in other words, before even entertaining the thought of the “individual mandate”, she’s essentially using lame-ass legal manuvering to say that Virginia has no business bringing a lawsuit against Obamacare because Virginia is a STATE, not an INDIVIDUAL– that’s exactly like Clinton’s infamous legal argument over the definition of the word “IS” during his impeachment trial. RIDICULOUS.
Hopefully since this ruling from the Pennsylvania federal circuit court allows legal standing of the couple that sued the Obama Administration, that the matter will indeed move unobstructed to the Supreme Court, no matter how many “lame-ass” rulings of other federal judges (see MOTZ) attempt to “vacate” the lawsuits.
Maybe we can cut this boat anchor loose.
The entire pile of sh*t is Un-Constitutional. Flush it!
Just the fact that even a single court finds it unconstitutional should cast enough doubt to assure its repeal.
Knowing how all liberal demacRATS ignore the constitution obama will just thumb his nose in the judges face and use a dictoral decree to force obamacare on us all
@Spurwing Plover…..If he did that then he’d have to recall all the vouchers he’s handed out to his democrap buddys like Piglosi. He won’t even try to empose dictoral decree. There would be a revolution over that one.
It’s better that the Suprme Court rules on it mid 2012 just before the elections. It will be the end of Obama’s presidency. He could not recover from it!!
