Unconstitutional

A federal judge in Florida has ruled that President Obama's health care reform plan is unconstitutional, in its entirety.

In a ruling released just moments ago, Judge Roger Vinson struck down the 2,000 page health care law, saying that Congress overstepped its bounds by mandating that all Americans buy health insurance. And, Judge Vinson said the individual mandate cannot be "stripped" from the law, ruling the entire plan unconstitutional.

Vinson made the ruling in response to a lawsuit brought by 26 states, which sought to block the health care law.

In case you're wondering, Vinson was appointed to the federal bench by Ronald Reagan.

Elections matter.
