Content: Through legislative mandates, Obamacare requires private citizens to purchase health insurance, involuntarily fund abortions, and pay for sex offenders to use Viagra under the threat of legal sanctions if they do not. The new law imposes penalties that will increase to 2.5% of one's income if he fails to purchase government-approved health insurance. John Roberts caves
On June 28, 2012, the Supreme Court voted 5–4 that while ObamaCare exceeded Congress's authority under the commerce clause, the law was a permissible tax under the Constitution. The constitutionality of Obamacare was originally challenged under the theory that it exceeded the limitations of the commerce clause; more than 20 federal lawsuits have been filed against Obamacare since President Barack Obama signed it into law. In total, 27 states have started or joined in a lawsuit against Obamacare. A federal judge ruled on 13 December 2010 that a central component of ObamaCare, the requirement that most Americans carry insurance or pay a penalty, violates the Constitution. U.S. District Judge Henry E. Hudson is quoted as saying the law "exceeds the constitutional boundaries of congressional power." Then on 31 January 2011 federal judge Roger Vinson ruled that as a result of the unconstitutionality of the "individual mandate" that requires people to buy insurance, the entire law must be declared void. The U.S. district judge declared Obamacare unconstitutional because it violates the Commerce Clause.
