After reading below do check out a similar concern by a Judge ruling on the Florida case at Judge stands up for "We the people..." against our Congress over ObamaCare and check out his words in the decision to allow the repeal to go further. Update: Rasmussen reports that 60% of likely voters favor repeal of ObamaCare.

From JillStanek.com where I heard of it first.

"A federal judge in Virginia has found a key provision of the healthcare law unconstitutional, the first such ruling on President Obama’s landmark reform.

Judge Henry E. Hudson of the Eastern District Court in Richmond, appointed by George W. Bush, ruled that the law’s mandate that all Americans have a minimum level of coverage, or pay a fine if they do not, exceeds federal authority.

VA’s Republican Attorney General, Ken Cuccinelli, challenged the law by rejecting the federal government’s view that the mandate is enforceable under the Commerce Clause of the Constitution. The state was seeking an injunction against the entire healthcare act if the mandate was found unconstitutional.

VA has passed a law stating that residents cannot be ordered to buy insurance.

A federal judge in Florida ruled in October that a separate suit challenging the law brought by 20 states and the National Federation of Interdependent Business could move forward. But a Michigan judge had dismissed a third suit earlier that month."
