Florida Federal Judge rules ObamaCare's individual mandate is unconstitutional and declared the act void. This lawsuit involved 26 states who believe the government does not have the power to force Americans to buy any product.

The Associated Press reports:

PENSACOLA, Fla. – A federal judge in Florida says the Obama administration's health overhaul is unconstitutional, siding with 26 states that had sued to block it.

U.S. District Judge Roger Vinson on Monday accepted without trial the states' argument that the new law violates people's rights by forcing them to buy health insurance by 2014 or face penalties.

Attorneys for the administration had argued that the states did not have standing to challenge the law and that the case should be dismissed.
