In a footnote at the end of his ruling, Judge Vinson wrote: &#8220;In 2008, then-Senator Obama supported a health care reform proposal that did not include an individual mandate because he was at that time strongly opposed to the idea, stating that &#8216;if a mandate was the solution, we can try that to solve homelessness by mandating everybody to buy a house.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The battle won\u2019t be over until the question of the constitutionally of Obamacare is eventually decided by the Supreme Court.
