Was that a federal district judge in Virginia has declared a key provision of Obamacare to be unconstitutional. Congress exceeded their authority. ( No kidding.)
It looks like this judge was a Bush appointee. Most likely, in a liberal Supreme Court, this law would survive. That is a chilling thought. The Supreme Court will get this case and will most likely uphold it. But the court is now leans conservative. One more liberal appointee will tilt it leftwards. Makes you wonder then, why did conservatives of any stripe even consider supporting Obama in 2008. I know the news sounds good today, but it is fragile. But the 2008 election is water under the bridge.
Update:
Here's another story which is a bit chilling. Breyer claims Madison reluctantly added the 2nd amendment. Ed Morrissey, formerly of Captain's Quarters blog, writes that Breyer's claims are dubious. But as one of the commenters said "what difference does it make?". Since when do judges get to unilaterally rewrite the constitution? Breyer was a Clinton appointee. Get enough of these guys, and we off to a leftist statist government.
