At 7 a.m. on Christmas Eve morning, they rammed Obamacare through the Senate. It did not get a single Republican vote in Congress.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this year, a group of Republican governors and state attorneys general filed a lawsuit. They argued that Obamacare\u2019s \u201cindividual mandate,\u201d which forced people to buy health insurance, was unconstitutional. And so was the entire law.<\/p>\n<p>Last Friday, Judge Reed O\u2019Connor of the Federal District Court for the Northern District of Texas ruled in their favor. He found the individual mandate unconstitutional, and he tossed out the entire Obamacare law.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-241581\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/00-Rush-Morning-Update-2.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"199\" height=\"137\">So now comes the guessing game. Some politicians predict O\u2019Connor\u2019s ruling will be overturned. Others predict it will end up at the Supreme Court, and this time the right thing will happen: O\u2019Connor\u2019s ruling will be upheld, and Obamacare will be gone.<\/p>\n<p>All the speculation would be moot if Republicans had simply done what they promised nine years ago, and just repealed the damned thing! What\u2019s so hard to understand about unconstitutional?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Nine years ago, Democrats controlled the House, the Senate, and the White House.
