Judge Read The Constitution

U.S. District Judge Roger Vinson of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Florida ruled Monday that the Obama administration's health care overhaul is unconstitutional.  Judge Vinson accepted without trial the 26 states' argument that the new law violates people's rights by forcing them to buy health insurance by 2014 or face penalties.

It is evident the Judge has studied and understands the Constitution.  His decision is steeped in the words of our Founding Fathers.  He warned in the ruling that Obamacare’s legal precedent could open the doors to virtually unlimited power by Congress.

“Because the individual mandate is unconstitutional and not severable, the entire Act must be declared void,” the judge wrote. “This has been a difficult decision to reach, and I am aware that it will have indeterminable implications. At a time when there is virtually unanimous agreement that health care reform is needed in this country, it is hard to invalidate and strike down a statute titled ‘The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.’”

“Regardless of how laudable its attempts may have been to accomplish these goals in passing the act, Congress must operate within the bounds established by the Constitution,” the judge wrote. “This case is not about whether the Act is wise or unwise legislation. It is about the Constitutional role of the federal government.”

“Congress exceeded the bounds of its authority in passing the Act with individual mandate,” he added.

Judge Vinson is the second federal judge to rule Obamacare unconstitutional.  The Supreme Court is expected to have the final say on Obamacare once the cases work their way up the court system.
