A U.S. district judge, today, Sept. 13, declared that Congress exceeded its authority under the Constitution when it required all Americans to buy health insurance under Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act i.e. ObamaCare.
Christopher C. Conner who sits in Harrisburg and on the United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania said “The federal government is one of limited enumerated
powers, and Congress’s efforts to remedy the ailing health care and
health insurance markets must fit squarely within the boundaries of
those powers.”
Conner made the ruling on behalf of Barbara and Gregory Bachman of Etters, York County who had filed suit challenging the individual mandate.
The Bachmans are self-employed, owning and operating Performance Marine and do not have health insurance. They are believed to be the first private citizens to have been granted standing to challenge ObamaCare.
Judge Conner was appointed to the bench by President George W. Bush in 2002.

Certainly it’s unconstitutional. The pity is that Obama knows it. We must vote him out.
