A Federal Court tells Conservatives that their challenge to ObamaCare can proceed.

It got passed us over the weekend or maybe, just maybe, the MSM didn't bother reporting on the matter but, Last Friday, a Florida court approved of the merits of the challenge against ObamaCare. Specifically, it said "yes" to the challenge of the "individual mandated" and the Medicaid expansion.

A White House spokes tried to put down the importance of this decision with this statement: "Having failed in the legislative arena, opponents of reform are now turning to the courts in an attempt to overturn the work of the democratically elected branches of government," Stephanie Cutter, head of health reform messaging, said on the White House blog. "This is nothing new. We saw this with the Social Security Act, the Civil Rights Act, and the Voting Rights Act – constitutional challenges were brought to all three of these monumental pieces of legislation, and all of those challenges failed. So too will the challenge to health reform."

The problem with Cutter's statement is simply this: the individual mandate was not a part of the three legislative examples in his statement.

Understand this: if the Federal Government can order you to by health insurance whether you need it or not, whether you want it or not, it can order you to buy anything. Effectively, the 10th Amendment will have officially died. That is how important this court fight is.
