Court Ruling: Obamacare Unconstitutional

Quote from PocketChange:

Does this not instantly kill the law? there is no provision to strike any part of the law that is deemed unconstitutional, It was an all or nothing deal... No need to repeal... just ignore.

No, the final ruling will come from the Supreme Court, not sure when.
 
Aren't most congressmen lawyers? You'd think they could write a bill that was constitutional; assuming they wanted to.

I think Pelosi and Reed allowed their overwhelming desire to force a national healthcare system into place overide their common sense and legal experience. I believe they also thought that they could get it into place before it could be repealed in congress, they were right about that. But I doubt they anticipated that the judiciary would do the right thing and probably believed they could influence them in their direction.

Why make a law if you're only going to ignore it?
 
Common practice: Ignore the law based on this court decision declaring the law as it stands unconstitutional.
