ENTIRE HEALTHCARE BILL THROWN OUT BY FEDERAL JUDGE In his ruling US District Judge Roger Vinson wrote, "Because the individual mandate is unconstitutional and not severable, the entire act must be declared void." He goes on to make reference to the Boston Tea Party:
"It is difficult to imagine that a nation which began, at least in part, as the result of opposition to a British mandate giving the East India Company a monopoly and imposing a nominal tax on all tea sold in America would have set out to create a government with the power to force people to buy tea in the first place. If Congress can penalize a passive individual for failing to engage in commerce, the enumeration of powers in the Constitution would have been in vain for it would be 'difficult to perceive any limitation on federal power' , and we would have a Constitution in name only."
This is a big victory in the ongoing battle to defeat this terrible bill. Once again we have made history together. It was pressure from us that brought this case to court and saw it through to this point. The influence of Tea Party Patriots is undeniable. Congratulations! Don't Stop Now. We still need you with us to continue to guide America back onto the right path. Here is one huge opportunity to take part in that:
