A US Federal Judge on Friday dismisses the lawsuit filed by state of Maryland to seeking to protect the ObamaCare or the Affordable Care Act.

Judge of the US district court for the District of Maryland, Ellen Lipton Hollander saying that while "The president's profound disdain for the ACA cannot be seriously disputed," neither his attempts to repeal the statute nor his taunting comments about it support an inference that he will fail to enforce the 2010 law.

"In sum, the State points to the President's rhetoric, his legislative agenda, his regulatory agenda, and his litigation positions to demonstrate that he might possibly terminate enforcement of the ACA,"she wrote in her opinion.

"But, its claim consists of little more than supposition and conjecture about President Trump's possible actions," Hollander added. "In effect, the State proclaims that the sky is falling. But, falling acorns, even several of them, do not amount to a falling sky."

The following lawsuit was filed by Maryland Attorney General Brian Frosh, a democrat.

In a statement Frosh said that Federal Judge Ellen Lipton Hollander’s decision does not end his effort to defend the law.

Frosh said "We will resume this litigation immediately if the president breaks his promise of continued enforcement."
