The Tenth Amendment:
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

Judge Hudson (pg 24): mandate "exceeds the Commerce Clause powers vested in Congress under Article I"
The Government can't tell you what to buy, that is just pure bullshit.
Administration officials told reporters last week that a negative ruling would have virtually no impact on the law's implementation, noting that its two major provisions — the coverage mandate and the creation of new insurance markets — don't take effect until 2014.Wrong! And if all the important parts don't take place until 2014, Why The Fuck did we have to pass it in the middle of the night, unread???!!!???
Well chalk one up for the good guys. Oh and BTW:
Hudson, a Republican who was appointed by President George W. BushThank you Mr. President Bush!
