Florida Court Rules on ObamaCare

Almost one hour ago, US District Court Judge Roger Vinson, in Pensacola, FL, ruled the Health Care Reform Law, signed by Obama and the Democrats last March, is unconstitutional, centering his decision around the validity of the individual mandate in the law. This is a good sign for those of us who honor and respect the Constitution, as well as those of us who want less Federal intrusion on to the lives and decisions of Americans. In the end, if this law is tossed, it will more easily allow for job creation as the Health Care Law in its current form stifles it.

This case is going to move to the next level and we are sure to hear it before the Supreme Court. As I have stated in the past, Congress must still continue to push for its repeal and defunding, as we should not rely on the courts decision as a way of ending this misguided and unconstitutional law.

A major tip of the cap must be given to not only Judge Vinson, but former Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum for bringing this case forward, as well as the Attorneys General of the additional states who joined in and the governors who authorized the cooperation.

I look forward to seeing newly elected Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, bring this case forward, and once and for all, seeing the Supreme Court get rid of this trainwreck of a law!
