Deleted Account 5,203 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 http://www.cnn.com/2011/POLITICS/08/12/health.care.ruling/index.html?hpt=hp_t2 In one of the best judicial holdings I've read this year, the 11th Circuit had this to say: "The individual mandate exceeds Congress's enumerated commerce power and is unconstitutional," the court ruled. "This economic mandate represents a wholly novel and potentially unbounded assertion of congressional authority: the ability to compel Americans to purchase an expensive health insurance product they have elected not to buy, and to make them re-purchase that insurance product every month for their entire lives." And you all thought the legal system didn't have any sense? Hah! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but I'm just glad to see at least one judicial body make an appropriate ruling on the Constitution. I still think it'll be reversed 5-4, thanks to Kagan not recusing herself.
