HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — The requirement in the national health-care overhaul law that individuals buy health insurance is unconstitutional, a federal judge in Pennsylvania ruled Tuesday in a question that the U.S. Supreme Court is expected to settle.
The suit decided by Judge Christopher C. Conner in Harrisburg is one of more than 30 lawsuits nationwide that have been filed over the 2010 law that is President Barack Obama's signature initiative.
Conner, who was appointed to the federal bench in 2002 by President George W. Bush, said the individual mandate is an unconstitutional extension of authority granted to the federal government under the Constitution's commerce clause.

Surprised and proud of my commonwealth for the first time in decades! Thank you Judge Connor!
“Yes, I believe, even Romney would appoint better judges than Obama...”
I do too and while Romney is not my first choice I will not demonize him as many on FR do.
“The “First Monday in October” is on its way.
A good subject for prayer; thanks for the reminder.
I had federal jury duty with Judge Connor last summer. He’s an excellent judge.
If Thomas was Chief Justice Obamacare would not only have already been ruled unconstitutional,Obama himself,along with Reid and Pelosi would have been frog marched for contempt of the constitution.

I'm leaning in the other direction. I believe there are several justices who would like a piece of Jug Ears after his feeble attempt to embarrass and intimidate them. In their position I wouldn't want to appear too eager for some payback though. Driving a stake into the heart of obamacare around the middle of 2012 would be a nice touch.

Good!
I don't see how they can dodge it. They have competing and contradictory rulings from federal circuit courts.
I firmly believe that it is our extraordinarily expensive health care insurance system (10-15K per year per individual) where employees are tethered to their employers, instead of being free to take risks and move on and afford health care for their family that is singularly responsible for the decline in what was our once great USA entrepreneurial spirit.
We need a major societal change that encourages all Americans to take risks, innovate and be free instead of being trapped as indentured servants because of our current health care.
As I recall, Romney appointed a professional abortion advocate, also a Democrat, to the Massachusetts Supreme Court.
Better than Obama, yes; but not by much.
Romney was also responsible for gay marriage in Massachusetts.

Good points to consider, all of them. Thank you.
Sounds like your suggesting they are prepared to declare it a political question and thus “constitutional”. Which means in no uncertainty terms(Given that nobody else is allowed to check the power garbing politics in DC) that the Federal Government is entirely lawless.
I don’t see how a free Federal republic can long survive with such an entirely boundless Federal Government
Romney Pretty much reflects elite opinion in the United States. Recall how Bush trotted out his mother ,his wife, and his daughters in favor of gay marriage. It keeps him from having to support it directly. He’s also a Methodist, and they are over the map on this, as well. Of course, Methodists do tend to fudge theological issues, but John Wesley must be spinning in his grave.
Think October 1st.
Have any of the lawsuits actually been appealed to them yet?
They must act SOON.
What if one of the Justices is in a car “accident” and O gets to appoint a new one? We would be hozed.
They need to act SOON while we have a majority.
“The evil sorcerer and his flying monkeys will continue to implement all of it they can through regulatory means. Some of it has already put down roots. It will be hard to eradicate.”
This is very true. Doctors are already closing private practices and being farmed into pens owned by big business.
My doctor just reminded me that Hillary left us with managed care.
(1) length and complexity of the bill making it intractable, and incomprehensible,(2) statements by legislators and aides that the legislators hadn't read the bill and thus the bill is the fruit of court-reviewable malfeasance
