The judge ruled that the law's individual mandate is unconstitutional, and that because the mandate cannot be separated from the rest of the law, the rest of the law is also invalid.

On a related note, I wonder how John McCain and Satan are doing together.

Good thing Congress already got rid of the individual mandate.

Well, Texas Judge is right. The Mandate is unconstitutional, but didn’t they argue at the Supreme Court that it wasn’t a mandate, but a tax?

Yes. The bill itself was a tax bill that included market manipulation.

It means that it will be overruled, the same 5 justices that ruled the mandate constitutional are still there.

Silly really

Good thing Congress already eliminated the mandate in the tax reform bill then.

To boil it down to a simple level:

In his original ruling Roberts said that the Constitutionality of the whole thing hinged on the individual mandate being a tax.

Congress got rid of the individual mandate/tax.

Therefore by his own ruling Roberts should now say that Obamacare is now unconstitutional.

We shall see if he follows his own ruling.


Also, one of the few things the Jeff Session DOJ did right was to abandon the defense of the ACA but of course the left was generally horrified.

True but it would be returning to the court under different circumstances.

Wanna have some fun? Compare this judge's forthcoming treatment in the media to that of judges that struck down Trump EOs in the last 22 months.

ObamaCare was always a disaster and it sucked for both employers and people....however the Blue Crosses of the world loved it. Without the mandate it was absolutely a useless shitpile Good fricking Riddance.
