Obamacare Ruled Unconstitutional Today

A Florida federal judge, Roger Vinson, ruled this afternoon that the law known as Obamacare is unconstitutional. He found in favor of the 26 states - that's more than half - that have brought suit against the federal government for passage of Obamacare on several grounds.

This is a major victory for America, for individual rights, and for free enterprise. It should also help reign in Congress who had no authority to create the bill.

As of this ruling, the entire health care bill is void because there was no severability clause in it. This means that if one sentence is found unconstitutional that the whole bill has to be set aside.

He declined to grant the injunction barring implementation of the bill because most of it is not effective yet anyway, but this should help the Supreme Court go along with the ruling and find the matter unconstitutional as well.
