Health Care Law Uncostitutional in Virgina

 A judge in Virginia ruled today that Obama's health care law is uncostitutional, according to an article by the NewYork Times. This is the first time a court in the U.S invalidates any part of the act.
Hudson wrote that the law’s central requirement that most Americans obtain health insurance exceeds the regulatory authority granted to Congress under the Commerce Clause of the Constitution.
 I think it is o.k for people to agree or disagree on this because we can all express our opinions. However I think it is kind of alarming to see a judge trying to invalidate an act that is mostly positive for the country, because some other judges around the country may want to the the same thing and make things more complicated for the government and the people. I think this won't have an important effect on Obama's health care law but I see it more like the judge is trying to make a statement about his oppositon.
