Now they’ll appeal it and, hopefully, it will go to the SCOTUS? Anybody know about this stuff?

Probably go to the 11th Circuit next. SCOTUS after that.

Why then bring it up for repeal, if it’s unconstitutional?

It will take months before it is heard by the SCOTUS, just in time for the 2012 elections.

They may also decide not to hear it, leaving the lower court’s ruling.

What’s more is Kagan will need to recuse herself.

I’m not a constitutional scholar, but even I knew a LOOOOOOONNNNNNNG time ago, that this was an Unconstitutional bill.

What a complete waste. The democrats put their entire life’s savings into this.....

The problem is, it is already a law. One judge's ruling does not make it void. It will have to go to SCOTUS now.

Like most laws, it is up for interpretation, like Roe V. Wade. If SCOTUS rules on the appeal, it will be done so under the original premise; The Commerce Clause. Which frankly, is so full of loop holes, it would make a sponge jealous.

If they agree with this ruling, (which I doubt they will) it will go back to the Legislature. Then, what? Who knows?
