Here is the opinion and press release from the Florida AG’s office.
There were 26 states challenging Obamacare in this case. As expected, the Court struck down the law. I have argued that the individual mandate isn’t severable from the whole law and therefore the whole law must be struck down. Judge Vinson, the federal district court judge in this case, agreed on this point.
I always thought that the Supreme Court wouldn’t take this case up until next fall–while that likely is still the case, this may be a unique situation where the court would move more quickly.
