Judge Declares Federal Healthcare Plan (Partly) Unconstitutional

healeyb writes "In a surprise move, US District Judge Henry E. Hudson issued a ruling today that the universal healthcare law that was pushed through by the Obama administration is unconstitutional. Specifically, he invalidated the section of the law that requires all citizens to purchase healthcare insurance, arguing that it does not fall under the purview of Commerce Clause of the Constitution, as has been asserted by the government. The ruling represents the first major setback for President Barack Obama on an issue that will likely end up at the Supreme Court. Two other courts have shot down challenges to the law."

    Who is the liberal equivalent to Rush Limbaugh or Glenn Beck for instance?

    Ed Shultz
    Obermann
    Tons of celebrities

    I think Obermann is off the air though (don't feel like googling it). You may not know about them because no one is watching them but they exist. Rachel Maddow was pretty bad last time I checked but haven't heard much about here lately.

    As for celebs, friggin tons:

    Michael Moore
    Bill Mahar
    The View
    Oliver Stone
    etc...

    And of course there's Jeanine Garafalo (sp?). She out crazies all the crazies put together.
