A Virginia federal judge says he will rule by the end of the year on the constitutionality of the Obama administration's health care law. The state of Virginia has contested the requirement that citizens buy health insurance or pay a penalty, arguing that the federal government is trying to stretch the Commerce Clause beyond its intended limits. The judge expressed a similar concern during a Monday hearing, saying the government's arguments suggest Congress could order citizens to "buy a car, join a gym or eat asparagus."
