Vote to repeal?
The judge voided the bill. Unless the SC overturns the ruling, the bill is void.
Voting on a voided bill seems like an effort in futility.
The decision basically nullifies Obama’s first year presidency, since the bill is what he spent most of his efforts on.
The court battle ain't over yet, nor will it be for some time.
Besides, there's enormous political value in forcing the vote.
Did the judge void it for the state or all states?
Belt-and-suspenders "futility" is OK with me. Besides, make Harry Reid sweat over holding the vote, which would put all the senators individually on record fer/agin.
Sorry, that's not how it works.
A US District judge voided the bill. His ruling is only enforceable in his specific district.
Judges in other districts may use his ruling as a precedent for their own rulings, but his ruling isn't binding outside his district.
If the federal government appeals (and I presume they will), then the Circuit Court of Appeals will rule. If they reaffirm the ruling, then the scope expands to that circuit (I believe there are 10 in the country).
Whoever loses in the Court of Appeals can then appeal to the US Supreme Court. But, the Court rarely takes a case unless there are conflicting rulings among the US Circuit Courts.
Since other courts have affirmed Obamacare, the potential for conflict exists. But, until it bubbles up to the Circuit Courts, the Supreme Court probably won't consider it.
