The Supreme Court has made its ruling on Obamacare - Utah Att.Gen. John Swallow coments

The Supreme Court has made its ruling on Obamacare, but make no mistake: Americans who cherish freedom and love our Constitution won a major victory. Utah should be proud of our leadership role in standing up for our rights and taking on Obamacare’s assault on individual freedom. We stopped the federal government from grabbing unlimited power over our everyday lives by stopping an unprecedented expansion of the Commerce Clause.  This is a major victory and will be felt in every state throughout America. We also stopped the government from holding Medicaid funding hostage and forcing Utah to allocate hundreds of millions of dollars in new spending that would bankrupt our budget.  This is a win for states’ rights and a reaffirmation of the Tenth Amendment. Finally, because the individual mandate was ruled a “tax,” we still have work to do.  That’s why this election is so important.  We must elect Mitt Romney as President and elect conservative majorities in Congress so we can repeal this trillion-dollar tax on all Americans.  We also need Orrin Hatch in the Senate so Utah can lead the charge as Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee.  Without Mitt as President and Sen. Hatch as Chairman, Obamacare will become a permanent part of all of our lives.  We can’t let that happen. Sincerely,
