FALSE. He is a Federal Judge and his ruling of UNCONSTITUIONALITY" takes precidence over the other 3 rulings.

Vinson is a US District judge in the northern district of Florida.

All the other judges ruling on this issue so far are also US District judges. Their rulings apply only to their own districts. That's the way that the federal court system works.

District Court opinions may be cited as precedent by other districts in rendering their own rulings. But, they don't automatically apply to the rest of the country.

If an ruling is appealed, it usually goes to the Circuit Court: in this case, it's the 11th (GA, FL, and AL). If the ruling is sustained, the scope expands to those states. It only becomes effective nationwide if the Supreme Court rules on the issue, and they rarely take a case unless there is a disagreement among Circuit Courts.

Stop repeating Rush's (or anyone else's) talking points and do some research for yourself. You might learn something.

There's a great reason why the ruling applies to the 26 states involved in the suit: when deciding on "standing" to sue, Idaho and Utah were cited for their specific situations and ruled to have standing to sue (Source: Vinson's actual ruling).

By court precedent, the remaining states did not have to be argued -- they were carried along by Idaho and Utah. Thus all 26 became valid parties to the suit and are likewise impacted by the ruling.
