The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals reached the obvious conclusion that the mandate in ObamaCare is unConstitutional.
"This economic mandate represents a wholly novel and potentially unbounded assertion of congressional authority: the ability to compel Americans to purchase an expensive health insurance product they have elected not to buy, and to make them re-purchase that insurance product every month for their entire lives."
Surprisingly, the three judge panel was split. The dissenting judge clearly thinks that the Commerce Clause allows Congress almost unlimited power. I have often wondered if we are on a trajectory in which the Constitution becomes subservient to the Commerce Clause contained within. Next step, the Supreme Court.
