The injunction that they sought to shut down implementation of the legislation was denied because Vinson feels it's simply not needed. Citing a previous ruling, he expects the "executive branch" to "adhere to the law as declared by the court. As a result, the declaratory judgment is the functional equivalent of an injunction."

Judge Vinson’s finding is irony at its sweetest. Vinson found that the rest of the healthcare bill is NOT severable; put simply if one part of the bill is unconstitutional the entire bill is null and void.

Remember Nancy Pelosi saying that we have to pass the bill so that we can find out what is in it?...I never thought I’d find myself agreeing with ‘ol Nancy however she was absolutely correct for once. She failed to read the bill and therefore failed to place a simple, standard severability clause into its text.

It also seems that John Conyers was too lazy to “Read the bill” however Judge Vinson has somehow magically examined the same bill and found a massive screw-up that was missed by the progressives. So much for leftist intellect, by the way didn’t Obama actually teach constitutional law at Harvard. Seems his students need to apply for a refund!
