    Default Obamacare, RIP - declared unconstitutional

    And may go to the NEW SC you say?


    Federal judge in Texas strikes down Affordable Care Act

    In a ruling sure to be appealed to Supreme Court, Texas court says the ACA, also known as Obamacare, can no longer stand without the penalty against the uninsured.

    A federal judge in Texas struck down the Affordable Care Act on Friday night, ruling that former President Barack Obama's signature domestic legislation has fallen down like a losing game of "Jenga."

    But the White House said that with the ruling expected to be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, the law will remain in place for now.

    U.S. District Judge Reed O’Connor in Fort Worth sided with the argument put forward by a coalition of Republican-leaning states, led by Texas, that Obamacare could no longer stand now that there's no penalty for Americans who don't buy insurance.

    The U.S. Supreme Court had upheld the law in 2012, by classifying the legislation as a tax. But since Congress removed the individual mandate in 2017, O’Connor ruled, there's no way the ACA can be allowed to stand.

    "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," O'Connor wrote. "The Individual Mandate is essential to and inseverable from the remainder of the ACA."

    Without the system being upheld by a wide pool of mandated participants, the ACA cannot stand, O'Connor ruled.

    Here We Go-> Holder, Dems Lash Out at Texas Judge For Ruling Obamacare Unconstitutional – Demand “Medicare For All”

    We saw this coming.

    Obama’s corrupt Attorney General and other Dems lashed out at the Texas federal judge for ruling Obamacare unconstitutional and demanded “Medicare for all.”

    U.S. District Judge Reed O’Connor in Fort Worth, Texas declared that Obamacare is unconstitutional in a Friday ruling.

    The ruling is expected to be appealed all the way up to the Supreme Court.

    Last year, Congress invalidated the tax penalty for not purchasing insurance which opened up doors for the constitutionality of Obamacare to be challenged.

    The repeal of the tax penalty is precisely what the Republicans needed to kill Obamacare, one of the biggest scams of redistribution of wealth this country has ever seen.

    Now the Dems are pushing for universal healthcare — this was their plan all along. Obamacare was merely the vehicle to usher in universal healthcare.

    Plus the question is different. Roberts ruled on the individual mandate. Which is gone. Audacity of hope I tell you.
