The mandate to buy health insurance included in federal healthcare reform legislation is constitutional, a federal judge in Virginia ruled Tuesday.
U.S. District Judge Norman Moon rejected a challenge by Liberty University, The Hill reported. Liberty in Lynchburg, founded by the Rev. Jerry Falwell, is a private, Christian, politically conservative institution.
Moon, appointed by President Bill Clinton, is the second judge to uphold the healthcare plan. A third judge rejected a challenge on the grounds the plaintiffs did not have standing.
A second Federal judge finds individual mandate for health care constitutional
Thats not what was ruled, it was ruled they didnt have jurisdiction to file a case and if you had read the court reply you would have seen in fact the judge said the opposite in some parts of the reply.
"I find lack standing"
"Defendants argument is unconvincing"
And the defendants claim that its a tax is not true because "Specifically Congress chose not to label them a tax"
And he admits to "not resolve contests surrounding the facts"
This just further highlights the stupidity of the HCB. Liberal mentality: Let's tie up our court systems and litigate this crap legislation for decades, but it's okay because my side won and shoved unpopular and unconstitutional legislation on all of us.
Yeah, and two others have found the lawsuits can go forward. The big one being that suit joined by 20+ states.
There are issues with jurisdiction with all of ours with the exception of the state challenges. At some point all of these little challenges, including my own, will be simply stopped when the state challenges hits the Supreme Court..

This is just wrong. It is not constitutional that as a function of citizenship, I must be forced to sign a health insurance contract with another citizen and pay upwards of $1,200 a month for his services, and if i do not sign and pay, i can face federal prosecution. how long before some democrat thinks that it is paramount, that as a citizen I must buy a Chevy Volt and install solar panels on the roof of my home or business?

Liberal mentality? Are you under the impression that liberals are filing lawsuits against the health care reform law? Liberals like .... Jerry Falwell?

Any minute now we'll get some foolish Democrat here tell you that there is no penalty for not buying healthcare (we've had this discussion before) because they ignore that this is a "tax" and not paying your taxes = jail. They will cite parts of the bill saying there is no penalty while ignoring the tax laws saying tax avoidance is a crime..

Its the liberals filing responses to the lawsuits tying up the court system with a law they knew up front would be challenged...
