ObamaCare Dealt the First Blow by Federal Judge

Well, I guess this is the beginning of a long court process that will end up with the Supreme Court striking down the Health Insurance Mandate.

U.S. District Judge Henry E. Hudson wrote that no court had expanded the Commerce Clause of the Constitution to allow the government to regulate a person's decision not to buy a product.

"At its core, this dispute is not simply about regulating the business of insurance — or crafting a scheme of universal health insurance coverage — it's about an individual's right to choose to participate," Hudson wrote.

This seemed like common sense that no law can compel you to buy something on threat of a fine. I had no idea how the Dems could have let that part stand up.
