The reason Obama hasn't filed an appeal is because he and his goons know this pile of sewer waste will be struck down by the Supreme Court.
I am sick to death of the corrupt Government and Ovomit's idea that he can bypass the judicial systems, congress, the senate, and the PEOPLE! SOMEONE IMPEACH HIM, REID, PELOSI and the REST of his Chicago sewer-rat MOB!
I am angry with this judge. He should have put an injunction on this fascist debacle. Otherwise his original ruling is an exercise in moot discussion. He is no patriot.
The next President which will not be President Obama should issue the Congressional Medal of Honor to Judge Vinson. He is a true patriot and nobody’s fool.
Definitely agree with you there. I just do not understand why the plaintiff’s do not go directly to the Supreme Court and get this on the docket immediately. If the Supreme Court pushes it down to a lower court, so be it. They will do no such thing, however.
Wuddaya ‘speck from the legal machine that starved a disabled woman to death while the world watched, aghast?

The second statement contradicts the first.
He could have done that, but it would require him to manage compliance for the entire Federal government and all the cooperating states (24?), through his court (by contempt), a monumental job.
During that time, Zer0 would delay the SCOTUS review, where it HAS to go anyway.
The judge gave Zer0 7 days to go before SCOTUS, expedited for a final call, or else Zer0 is screwed, he loses everything.
This way it gets finally decided without months of useless work for everybody.
Judge Roger Vinson ... my hero!
Appointed by President Reagan.
‘”This declaratory judgment was expected to be treated as the ‘practical’ and ‘functional equivalent of an injunction,’” Vinson wrote in Thursday’s clarification. But instead, he added, the Obama administration ignored the order and continued implementing the law. ‘
Gotta love this guy! A judge with some courage — not afraid of the Obama-machine.
Even the possibility that this might happen would be enough for them to try to avoid this showdown and look for alternative means to circumvent the will of the people and the constitutional process.
You should have read the entire article — he DID mean it as an injunction:
“This declaratory judgment was expected to be treated as the ‘practical’ and ‘functional equivalent of an injunction,’” Vinson wrote in Thursday’s clarification. But instead, he added, the Obama administration ignored the order and continued implementing the law.
The attorneys representing the plaintiffs, who include Florida and 25 other states, argued that the administration's "motion to clarify" was actually a veiled request to have Vinson stay (i.e., set aside) his original order blocking implementation. Vinson agreed, and therefore treated the Obama administration's "motion to clarify" as a motion to stay, which he granted. Vinson made clear, however, that if the administration fails to file a notice of appeal by March 10 or fails to seek an expedited appeal either with the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals or the Supreme Court, then his stay will lift and the administration will (once again) be barred from implementing or enforcing ObamaCare. In other words, Vinson prevented the Obama administration from treating his stay as an excuse to ignore his ruling while the further entrenching the law.....read more....

Judge Vinson has handled this brilliantly. His circumspect, clear decision put the onus on Obummer. He anticipated Obummer’s arrogant delay and disregard. Now that it is clear, he can lay bare the mendacity of Obummer even more clearly.
Nicely ‘teed-up’ for Federal Appeals Court or the USSC!
the attorneys general prevailed in this case so they have no opportunity to appeal it ANYWHERE, the Obama Adminstration is the only party with appeal rights as the LOSER.
Failure to appeal will be flat out defiance of judge Vinson. At that point, he has stated that he will enjoin the entire Federal and state governments from continuing to implement Zer0 care. The judge MAY hold any government employee that fails to comply in contempt, and order his/her arrest and confinement until they comply. This is where the fun begins, if Zer0 plays chicken with the judge.
I personally don't know what Zer0 will do, he is arrogant enough to go lawless and commit impeachable of fences.
You said it much better than I.
Anyone ragging on Judge Vinson for this decision clearly doesn’t know anything about appellate law. His decision was a work of art that forced the obama administration’s hand and is moving the case along as expeditiously as possible to the Supreme Court, which is the only court that can definitively decide this issue.
