11th Circuit says mandate unconstitutional – Jennifer Haberkorn – POLITICO.com.
For the first time, a Democrat- appointed judge has ruled against Obamacare. The standout Judge is Frank Hull, a Clinton Appointee, who concurred with Judge Joel Dubina, a Bush appointee, in the 2-1 decision.
The court has specifically struck down the mandate, and not the entire law as Judge Vinson did in an earlier decision.
The various decisions made on the Obamacare abomination will likely cause it to be brought it to the Supreme Court this fall.
This most recent decision noted that there would be no limit the powers of Congress if it could force people to purchase health insurance, with Judge Stanley Marcus apparently thinking that this is OK.
