Licaier this year, 19 republican attorneys general and one republican governor filed a lawsuit arguing without a tax and no penalty, the entire law cannot be enforced and is unconstitutional. In a 55page ruling, district judge reed oconnor agreed, writing the penalty can no longer be fairly read as an exercise of congress tax power. Texas attorney general ken paxton, who initiated the oawsuit, traced his argument cck to a ruling made by the Supreme Court in 2012. We believed from the very beginning it was unconstitutional, and we think the judge did the right thing.
