U.S. District Judge Roger Vinson (Florida) declares individual mandate unconstitutional
With Congress at an impasse on repealing President Obama's signature health insurance law, all eyes are on a federal judge who is expected to deliver a ruling Monday about whether portions of the new law pass constitutional muster.
U.S. District Judge Roger Vinson's ruling will be the biggest judicial decision to come down the pike since groups began filing lawsuits against the bill passed by Congress last March. Twenty-six states are parties to the suit, which claims a mandate to insist Americans purchase a product is unconstitutional.
Just in on a headline and no link yet on Foxnews.com, the judge declared the individual mandate unconstitutional.
