Federal judge rules Obamacare unconstitutional

A U.S. federal judge in Texas ruled on Friday that the Affordable Care Act, commonly known as Obamacare, is unconstitutional, a decision that was likely to be appealed to the Supreme Court.

U.S. District Judge Reed O’Connor in Fort Worth agreed with a coalition of 20 states that a change in tax law last year eliminating a penalty for not having health insurance invalidated the entire Obamacare law.

If 45 wants his wall, he needs to support universal healthcare and immigration reform. The money saved from both will cover the $5 billion for the wall.

The wall will never get built.
