and has ordered all implementation to be stopped
Judge Roger Vinson took the president to the woodshed last week
for a lesson on which branch of government has the final word on
the Constitution.
Twenty six states brought a lawsuit to a Florida district court
challenging the constitutionality of the Obama healthcare reform
law. On January 31, Vinson ruled the mandatory insurance provision
unconstitutional and, going further, declared the entire law
void. The White House brushed off Vinson's ruling as "extreme" and an
"outlier" and told the nation "implementation would proceed apace."
Vinson clarified his ruling on March 3, warning the president's
lawyers that it was "not just a bit of friendly advice." The
administration suggests "that a single federal judge" cannot halt
an entire regulatory scheme. Wrong, said Vinson. A court's judgment
is binding.
