ha ha ha loser wack job marxist. What laws a donk passes are again found to be un constitutional. Like your murdering of infants will be.

Next up zer0 could be an activist judge looking for that elusive birth certificate.

So, mandating Abortion across all states - without Constitutional authority is fine.

But, refusing the ability of Congress to demand we purchase a commercially available good from them, is ‘Activism’?

Funny set of definitions, huh?

>>The ruling on the field stands unless over turned.<<

I think that is what is taking a while to sink in: UrkelCare is dead, unless the SCOTUS says otherwise.

The “boys” in the WH hood must HATE this guy’s ass;

The judge was Born in Cadiz, Kentucky. Vinson attended the United States Naval Academy and graduated in 1962 with a bachelor’s degree in engineering. He served at Naval Air Station Pensacola as a naval aviator from 1962–1968, attaining the rank of lieutenant. After his service, he attended Vanderbilt University and received his J.D. in 1971.

Returning to Pensacola, Florida, Vinson joined the law firm of Beggs & Lane, where he practiced general civil law from 1971–1983. He was nominated to the federal bench by President Ronald Reagan on September 9, 1983 to a seat vacated by Lynn C. Higby, was confirmed by the Senate on October 4, and received his commission a day later. Among the notable cases he has presided over:

* Four defendants of abortion clinic bombing, 1985[1]
* Escambia County, Florida ordinance banning The Last Temptation of Christ, 1988[2]
* Shoney’s $134 million race discrimination settlement, 1993[3]
* Paul Jennings Hill (federal Clinic Access Law charges), 1994[4]
* Sentenced Financial Manager Marcus Schrenker, who attempted to fake his own death by parachuting out of his plane after charges were brought against him for securities fraud, to four years in federal prison in 2009.[5]

Vinson was chief judge from 1997 to 2004. He assumed senior status on March 31, 2005.

He was appointed to serve a seven-year term on the Federal Intelligence Surveillance Court, effective May 4, 2006.[6] In 2009 he was installed as president of the American Camellia Society.[7]

In 2010, Vinson was assigned to hear a case brought by a group of 20 states that was filed with support by 16 attorneys general and four governors challenging the constitutionality of the new Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act’s requirement that most individuals obtain medical insurance. The suit is the second of more than 15 lawsuits filed against the act that has advanced to this stage of litigation.[8]

On January 31, 2011, Vinson ruled that the individual mandate provision of the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act violated the Constitution by regulating economic inactivity, and as the mandate is not severable the entire statute was ruled unconstitutional. Vinson allowed the law to stand while it is being appealed by the Obama administration.[9]

I agree that "individual responsibility" is good and should always be upheld.

However, DO NOT mandate that I submit to someone else's ideals or pay a penalty.

Would that be the precedent of all nine justices, or excluding those who couldn’t be in the same room with you?

A WISE REPUBLICAN MAJORITY WOULD IMMEDIATELY COME FORWARD WITH A SUBSTITUTE.

The Judge evidently quoted Obama's own words AGAINST the individual mandate:
“I note that in 2008, then-Senator Obama supported a health care reform proposal that did not include an individual mandate because he was at that time strongly opposed to the idea, stating that ‘if a mandate was the solution, we can try that to solve homelessness by mandating everybody to buy a house,’”

The dilution enhances the stupor. The butter (real salted)mixed with the cloves and heated is quite the thing even thoug it is 55 and not 20 degrees.

Try it .......you’ll like it

Btw ......the size is one standard coffee muf

Only a White House with a contempt for the Constitution would characterize the decision as “activist”. It is laughable that a spokesman for Obama, the Anti-Reagan, would talk about “overreaching”.
