Judge Rules ObamaCare Constitutional Despite Abortion Funding
Richmond, VA -- A federal judge in Virginia has issued a preliminary ruling in one of several lawsuits filed against ObamaCare, which pro-life groups opposed because it contained no provisions fully eliminating abortion funding.
The case, filed by Liberty University, a Christian college, is different from the main lawsuits state attorney general filed against the health care takeover law because it centers on the question of forcing taxpayers to fund abortions.

Does this judge come up for re-election?
The judge’s name is Judge Jude Norman Moon, a Clinton appointee.
That name should be put out there so the people know who they are voting for. The articles always say in the headline ‘a judge’. They SHOULD say “Judge Jude Norman Moon” bat (that last word is my own idea).
[with apologies to Shakespeare]
Federal judges are lifetime appointments. Appointed by the president, confirmed by the senate, sit on the bench until death, retirement or impeachment.
I guess “constitutional” is in the eyes of the beholder...
“Federal judges are lifetime appointments.”
I’m gonna be sick.
That's probably the case with this judge ~ BTW, most such judges know how they got there.
Frankly, once we get this stuff pushed back what we have to do is round up judges like this Moon character, evaluate their rulings over the years, and then prosecute them for protecting relatives (directly or indirectly) from legal action.
We should be able to do this pretty quickly with modern computer equipment, so once it starts wardens should start consolidating under-utilized cells.
preliminary means preliminary.
the judge will rule later on the issue.
Assuming this bad reporting is correct.
Yup, must only appoint those who have sold their souls because it is then certain they’re for sale at the right price. Most of these scum judges prove they are cheap whores.
The Judge is activist, remaining true to activist precedent:
Wickard v. Filburn for example. Filburn grew his own crop and sold it locally YET the courts said it was STILL interstate commerce :
“But even if appellee’s activity be local, and though it may not be regarded as commerce, it may still, whatever its nature, be reached by Congress if it exerts a substantial economic effect on interstate commerce… The effect of consumption of home-grown wheat on interstate commerce is due to the fact that it constitutes the most variable factor in the disappearance of the wheat crop.”
You can DO NOTHING and it still comes under control of the central Statist Government in Washington.
Will the USSC repeal at least 4 case precedents !?
NOPE
oops sorry,wrong Topic
This ruling was on a motion to dismiss, so the case is dead at the District Court level. The plaintiffs will appeal to the 4th Circuit.
