Pensacola, FL – A federal judge in Florida says states must continue implementing the president’s health care overhaul even though he has declared it unconstitutional.

Florida and 25 states sued to block the law, and District Judge Roger Vinson has ruled in their favor.
He says Obama administration attorneys have one week to appeal. If they don’t meet that deadline, Vinson says the states can consider the law invalid.
The case is one of several challenges to the health care law, which is almost certain to end up before the U.S. Supreme Court.
In his ruling, Vinson says it’s in the best interest of the nation to continue with the massive health overhaul while the cases work their way through the legal system.
the headline is twisted! its trying to make a very bad ruling for Obama into something good
in short the court ruled that “the whole law is UNCONSTITUTIONAL”, and the Government has one week to appeal (something they would have done anyway) and if they don’t THEY MUST STOP IMPLEMENTING IT!
so where is the great news? the one week that the judge gave them?
this is a leftist spin, plain and simple.
I don’t understand Judge Vinson….if his ruling that ObamaCare is unconstitutional, then why must states continue implementation even for one second?
