news.yahoo.com - RICHMOND, Va. – A federal judge in Virginia has declared the Obama administration's health care reform law unconstitutional.
U.S. District Judge Henry Hudson is the first judge to rule against the law, which has been upheld by two others in Virginia and Michigan.
Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli filed the lawsuit challenging the law's requirement that citizens buy health insurance or pay a penalty starting in 2014.
He argues the federal government doesn't have the constitutional authority to impose the requirement.
Other lawsuits are pending, including one filed by 20 states in a Florida court. Virginia is not part of that lawsuit.
The U.S. Justice Department and opponents of the health care law agree that the U.S. Supreme Court will have the final word.
Blog author's comments - Finally, a judge who has read the health care bill. Obama and the democrats have lied about Obamacare from day one. They have bribed democrats to pass it, and have so far given out 200 plus waivers to select companies and unions so they don't have to implement this health care law.
Most of us also remember the Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi talking about Obamacare saying "we have to pass the bill so we can find out what is in it." Apparently Judge Hudson knows what is in it.
We do need to stop the Democrats from turning the country into a socialist state. Perhaps the first act by the people was the midterm election.
The decision of Judge Hudson is just a start. Now if only our Republican leaders can take what has happened to the country seriously, and do everything within their power to stop the Dems from fulfilling their dream to mold the country into what they feel it should be. The new conservatives in the House will hopefully be a big help.
I do believe that eventually it will go to the Supreme Court and I am not very confident in what the outcome from these learned Justices would be. We know for sure that four of them would side with the liberal Democrats. They do not believe in the Constitution.
Another piece of Democrat Party legislature rammed down the throats of the American citizens when the majority said they did not want it. Barack Obama and the Democrats believe they know what is best for us. We need to get through this 'lame duck' session with as little damage as possible.
Obama did say with a straight face, that his health care plan would cover millions more people while reducing premiums, and allow us to keep our current doctors and reduce the deficit. We know this is not true. He lied!
Repeal Health Care, We'll Defund It
