I’m not seeing the pony in the pasture here. :(
He basically told them they have a week to appeal to the 11th Circuit court (the one above him) or else. I don’t see this as a cave, more like a slap upside the head.
he’s making them APPEAL it rather than sitting around delaying, which has been the obama admin aim all along, that they can drag it out and hope against hope that some provisions become popular enough that it would serve to balance against overturning it. this is a GOOD thing. no one but the sup ct can definitively rule on this and that has to happen ASAP. delaying is what the obams wants to do, Judge Vinson is saying um, no, you get the stay but ONLY if you appeal this in 7 days time.
