A federal judge in Virginia struck down a key component of President Obama’s health care reform law on Monday, finding Congress exceeded its powers under the Constitution when it required all adult citizens to purchase health insurance or pay a penalty.
U.S. District Henry Hudson, in a 42-page opinion, granted the state of Virginia summary judgment in its suit seeking to declare the insurance mandate unconstitutional, thus threatening the entire package of insurance reforms in the 2,700-page law.
Hudson declined to issue an injunction barring the administration from enforcing the law, however, saying “the likelihood of irreparable harm is minimal” even though employers and citizens must prepare for the law even if it is ultimately struck down.

I didn't know that the case was started back in March--just listened to the Mark Levine link that you provided--
Thank God for forward/brave thinkers willing to put their 'toe to the line' for the Constitution and freedom...
