PENSACOLA, Fla. (AP) \u2014 A federal judge in Florida says the Obama administration\u2019s health overhaul is unconstitutional, siding with 26 states that had sued to block it. U.S. District Judge Roger Vinson on Monday accepted without trial the states\u2019 argument that the new law violates people\u2019s rights by forcing them to buy health insurance by 2014 or face penalties.<\/p>\n

Attorneys for the administration had argued that the states did not have standing to challenge the law and that the case should be dismissed. The case is likely to go to the U.S. Supreme Court. Two other federal judges have upheld the insurance requirement, but a federal judge in Virginia also ruled the insurance requirement unconstitutional.\u201d<\/p>\n

See? The system works. That is to say, the one set up by the U.S. Constitution. You remember the U.S. Constitution, right?\u00a0<\/p>\n

And, well, when 26 States all say that a law passed by Congress and signed by the President is unconstitutional, the chances are it is. Click here <\/a>to continue reading.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
