The White House Responds to Justice Vinson’s Ruling on ObamaCare

If the WH fails to appeal the Vinson decision and get a stay, Obama is in contempt. Until some higher court overrules the judge, Obamacare is legally dead. No further implementation should take place.

They could have said “Screw you Judge Vinson” and saved a lot of words because that’s exactly what they mean.

[FlingWingFlyer]

It’s not only the unions, Obama supporters and Obama donors who don’t want ObamaCare! Americans don’t want it either!

[Farmer Dean]

So now the White House wants to bitch about “judicial activism”?What a hoot.

[Natural Law]

"“And the judge declared that the entire law is null and void even though the only provision he found unconstitutional was the ‘individual responsibility’ provision.”"

Actually, Pelosi and Reid fugged up by not including a severability clause in the act which would have permitted a court to rule and dispose each section of the bill independently from the rest of the bill.

[Sequoyah101]

They also mean screw you to the majority of the people of the US, just like they did when they passed this POS.

When do we go Egypt on them?

[blackdog]

The administration makes it perfectly clear why our founders arraged for three co-equal branches of government. That of course does not include Chuck Schumer’s version of separation of powers.

The term “individual responsibility” reminds me of HRC’s “shared responsibilty”. Their twisting of language is Orwellian. It reminds me of old Soviet propoganda.

[MaxMax]

Not one peep from the MSM about favored exemptions.

“Actually, Pelosi and Reid fugged up by not including a severability clause in the act”

I’m not so sure that’s a fugg-up. It’s a lot easier to start an uprising if you’re taking the entrire law (entitlement) away than it is just arguing about an arcane clause or two.

These people want nothing less than the overthrow of our republic. This will help them get it (or so they think).

[Hardraade]

Or “Screw rule of law, we got Mugobama What are you peasants gonna do?”

[ishmac]

The comments are lamentable, but not surprising. After all, didn't the neo-Marxist-in-chief dis the Supreme Court straight to their faces in a formal, nationally-televised speech?

[LostInBayport]

“We don’t believe this kind of judicial activism will be upheld…”

But other kinds of judicial activism should be? Like the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court "finding" a right to gay marriage? Roe v. Wade?

I don't find Judge Vinson's ruling to be any kind of "activism" whatsoever. He simply read Obamacare and found terms that are at odds with the U.S. Constitution and ruled accordingly.

[VRW Conspirator]

If the Fed-Gov can force you to buy something under penalty of fine or imprisonment. Then where will it stop. The next “logical” step will be the Fed-Gov forcing you NOT to buy something under penalty of fine or imprisonment.

From that point on, the Constitution will be virtually rendered obselete.

Actually, Pelosi and Reid fugged up by not including a severability clause in the act which would have permitted a court to rule and dispose each section of the bill independently from the rest of the bill.

From what I've read here on FR, it seems that Boris and Natasha couldn't include the severability clause because if they did, it was possible that amendments or revisions could have eliminated any of the zillion goodies thrown into it to buy votes in favor of the bill. They had to keep it as one piece so all of the bribes remained in place!

**************************************
I believe that there is an automatic 14 day stay of Judge Vinson’s ruling during which time Obamacare remains the law of the land. Those 14 days will be up in a little over a week and we should assume that the Government will appeal and perhaps ask for a stay of the ruling. I don’t put it past them to not ask for the stay since doing so would risk it being denied. They may just petition for a reversal and plan to tough it out vis a vis the implementation issue.
