Marathon Pundit: McConnell Statement on ObamaCare ruling

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) issued the following statement in regards to this afternoon's ObamaCare ruling:

Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell released the following statement Monday regarding a ruling in the U.S. District for the Northern District of Florida that the Democrats' health spending bill is "unconstitutional" and exceeds the bounds of Congressional authority:

This ruling confirms what Americans have been saying for months: The health spending bill is a massive overreach and Democrats ‘exceeded the bounds’ of Congressional authority under the Constitution in passing the law with the individual mandate. Rather than penalizing Americans if they don’t buy a particular product that Washington decides is best, we should repeal this health spending bill and replace it with commonsense reforms that will actually lower costs, prevent unsustainable entitlement promises and make it easier for employers to start hiring again.
