Well, the liberal Democrats got slapped upside the head again by a federal judge who ruled that the entire Obama,Pelosi/Reid/Berkley/Titus health care bill is unconstitutional.
From Reuters: U.S. District Judge Roger Vinson ruled that the reform law's so-called individual mandate went too far in requiring that Americans start buying health insurance in 2014 or pay a penalty.
"Because the individual mandate is unconstitutional and not severable, the entire act must be declared void," he wrote, "This has been a difficult decision to reach and I am aware that it will have indeterminable implications."
Referring to a key provision in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Vinson sided with governors and attorneys general from 26 U.S. states, almost all of whom are Republicans, in declaring the Obama healthcare reform unconstitutional.
"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," Vinson, who was appointed to the bench by Republican President Ronald Reagan, ruled.

This is a total slap down of Obama Care. Just about everybody who had half a brain said that the mandatory insurance would be found unconstitutional. What's scary is that the Democrats didn't know this would be unconstitutional care or didn't care. The most laughable comparison put forth on Capitol Hill was comparing Obama Care and mandating insurance for drivers of cars. Of course, those with a brain would realize that if you choose not to drive you don't have to buy auto insurance.
So, now it's on to the Supremes. My guess the vote will be 7-2 or 6-3 that the Obama/Reid/Pelosi/Berkley/Titus health care bill will be found unconstitutional.
Speaking Of Titus, I just wonder if anybody who takes her UNLV class will have the guts to laugh at Titus about this ruling and how stupid she was to vote for it.
