Down the Appeals Path it Goes!

Big news today out of the Commonwealth of Virginia! US District Judge Henry Hudson, in a case brought forth by Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli (For the record, originally a Jersey guy), Virginia v. Sebelius, declared portions of the Health Care Reform Act signed by Obama and the Democrats, unconstitutional! Specifically, Hudson wrote in his decision, how the requirement for Americans to buy into the system does not comply with the Interstate Commerce Clause.

Considering the US District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia is home to the "Rocket Docket," it is no surprise the ruling came on this date. ObamaCare is Obama's bread and butter, so his camp must be spitting mad about the ruling, therefore, it is likely they will appeal. They will have to continue the case is the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals, likely the court most known for its "Constitutional" rulings, as a result, bringing the question of the Constitutionality of ObamaCare in front of the Supreme Court once and for all.

There is still a long road, and a decision pending on the Health Care challenge in the State of Florida, but today's step was one in the right direction. The people have shown they do not want this and the court has shown it does not hold Constitutional merit.

To quote Cuccinelli,

"This is a great day for the Constitution! This case is not about health insurance. It is not about health care. It's about liberty...We've won the first round of this particular fight, but we know there are others to come."
