A three-judge panel of the District of Columbia Court of Appeals dealt a major blow to ObamaCare today.  Hear Mat Staver, Founder and Chairman of Liberty Counsel, discuss it on Faith & Freedom.

The Federal Court of Appeals ruled that tax subsidies that are central to the ObamaCare program may not be provided to at least half of the states. The law that Congress passed and Obama signed says that the federal subsidies can only be given out when someone enrolls in an exchange run by the states or the District of Columbia. However, in another attempt to circumvent the Constitution, bypass the Congress, and ignore the law, the President set up his own policy: the federal exchange at HealthCare.gov, which has been a bureaucratic nightmare. 

Hours after the ruling from the District of Columbia Court of Appeals, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals issued a conflicting ruling, finding that the IRS rule for the federal subsidies is valid. This sets up a conflict between the federal Circuit Courts of Appeal and paves the way for these cases to go to the U.S. Supreme Court.
