“Mark Levin stated this days ago.”

Yesterday Levin said that the Florida attorney general (Pam Bondi) has to go back to the judge and complain that the ruling is being ignored. Levin urged his Florida listeners to contact her and tell her to get off her ass. Did anybody else hear what the great one said?

I like Marc Levin — very much. His underground bunker is just miles from my home. The Landmark Legal foundation, likewise, is outstanding. These are not pretend lawyers.

However, while I am probably more conservative than Marc, I can't square his view with the law regarding the scope of one Federal Judge's ruling.

I agree that the ruling finding the law Unconstitutional and void, means it cannot be implemented in the Federal District in which the Judge sits. However, I know of no legal reason why it does not remain, as we say in the law, “good law” in all other districts that have not ruled it unconstitutional. It hasn't even yet reached the circuit level. Moreover, there is some other District Court Judge out there that says its just fine. That is why these issues are resolved by Circuit Courts, and in this case, ultimately the US Supreme Court.

I agree with our AG in VA — he wants the issue certified directly to the Supreme Court. That would resolve the issue.

In the meantime, the Judge specifically did not grant an injunction, so it is arguable whether or not the Feds can still implement even in his district. In my view, they cannot because he has ruled the law void — which means it does not exist in his Federal District. However, that is the extent of his authority.
