Noting that the judge did not order the government to stop implementing the law, a senior administration source said "implementation will proceed at pace."
So after parsing the article a bit more, I suppose the question I have is whether the administration's view that they are not ordered to stop implementation is based on a generous reading of the text, or if it being declared unconstitutional is all the ordering the judge needed to make to indicate it could not be implemented.
I confess I only made it through the first 10 pages of the ruling before I had to get back to my homework. :)

In essence, the judge said that an injunction was unnecessary, as his ruling that Obamacare is unconstitutional strikes the law down. It can't be enforced or implemented by the administration, unless they blatantly ignore this ruling.
