HEROIC Federal Judge in Texas Strikes Down Obamacare

Federal Judge Reed O'Connor

A federal judge in Texas said on Friday that the Affordable Care Act's individual coverage mandate is unconstitutional and that the rest of the law therefore cannot stand, reports CNN.

In his opinion, District Judge Reed O'Connor said the "Individual Mandate can no longer be fairly read as an exercise of Congress's Tax Power and is still impermissible under the Interstate Commerce Clause—meaning the Individual Mandate is unconstitutional."


He also held that the individual mandate is "essential to and inseverable from the remainder of the ACA." In other words, this judge really understands Obamacare and the horror of the evil individual mandate as the foundation of Obama's scam.

But don't for a minute think this will end Obamacare. There will be appeals and President Trump, via Tweet has already signaled he wants the government to remain in the healthcare business:

As I predicted all along, Obamacare has been struck down as an UNCONSTITUTIONAL disaster! Now Congress must pass a STRONG law that provides GREAT healthcare and protects pre-existing conditions. Mitch and Nancy, get it done!

Here is my take on the real problem with Obamacare, or any government healthcare for that matter, including anything Trump might come up with in cahoots with "Mitch and Nancy":
