Well, parts of it……. so says Federal judge, Henry Hudson…….

U.S. District Judge Henry E. Hudson said in a 42-page opinion that the so-called individual mandate provision, which requires all Americans to buy some form of health insurance, would “invite unbridled exercise of the federal police powers.”

The Obama administration had argued that the individual mandate was essential to keep down nationwide health care costs, and that Congress had acted under its authority to regulate interstate commerce. But the judge said an individual’s decision to purchase — or to decline to purchase — health care from a private provider is beyond the “historical reach” the Constitution grants Congress to regulate interstate commerce.

So the Tea Party and the more Rightie of the GOP should be doing victory laps……or at least jerking off in the corner of their offices……but here is something that has NOT been mentioned……

Henry E. Hudson, the federal judge in Virginia who just ruled health care reform unconstitutional, owns between $15,000 and $50,000 in a GOP political consulting firm that worked against health care reform.As the Huffington Post and others first noted last July, Hudson’s annual financial disclosures show that he owns a sizable chunk of Campaign Solutions, Inc., a Republican consulting firm that worked this election cycle for John Boehner, Michele Bachmann, John McCain, and a whole host of other GOP candidates who’ve placed the purported unconstitutionality of health care reform at the center of their political platforms. Since 2003, according to the disclosures, Hudson has earned between $32,000 and $108,000 in dividends from his shares in the firm (federal rules only require judges to report ranges of income).

What was that the conservs call most judges that do not agree with them…..oh yeah…activist judges!  This should make an immediate filing with the US Supreme Court…..This guy should have immediately removed himself fromn hearing this case on grounds of conflict of interests……

Will this ruling hold up to a challenge?  I am sure that FOX will be reporting this every hour on the hour and will have all their minions working hard behind the scenes to make this stick in the public’s mind……..

January oughta be a an interesting beginning to an interesting year……
