On Monday the Justice Department informed a federal appeals court that it approved of an appeals court decision that stated the entire Obamacare statute is unconstitutional.
In December, U.S. District Court Judge Reed O’Connor had ruled that Obamacare’s individual mandate was unconstitutional and thus the entire Obamacare structure was invalid. Writing to Lyle W. Cayce, Clerk of the Court of the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, Joseph H. Hunt, Assistant Attorney General, and Brett A. Shumate, Deputy Assistant Attorney General, wrote, “The Department of Justice has determined that the district court’s judgment should be affirmed. Because the United States is not urging that any portion of the district court’s judgment be reversed, the government intends to file a brief on the appellees’ schedule.”
