The Christian Broadcast Network reports that a federal judge in Richmond, Virginia ruled today (December 13, 2010) that the Obama administration's healthcare reform law is unconstitutional.
U.S. District Court Judge Henry Hudson wrote that the statute's mandate for most Americans to obtain health coverage exceeds the authority granted to Congress in the Commerce Clause of the Constitution.
Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli (R) filed the lawsuit challenging the measure last March, just minutes after President Obama signed the controversial bill into law.
The federal government is expected to appeal today's decision to the Supreme Court.
