2nd Judge rules On Healthcare

From Drudge.

Judge rules healthcare reform unconstitutional | Reuters: "U.S. District Judge Roger Vinson, appointed to the bench by President Ronald Reagan in 1983, ruled that the reform law's so-called 'individual mandate' went too far in requiring that Americans start buying health insurance in 2014 or pay a penalty.

'Because the individual mandate is unconstitutional and not severable, the entire act must be declared void. This has been a difficult decision to reach, and I am aware that it will have indeterminable implications,' Vinson wrote."
