United States District Judge Roger Vinson of Florida wants to make one thing perfectly clear: he did rule the entire ObamaCare law unconstitutional.
Putting an end to weeks of weaselly language from Administration hacks and liberal pundits, Vinson confirmed that his January ruling killed ObamaCare stone dead. He was harshly critical of the Administration’s conduct since then, saying he did not expect them to “effectively ignore the order and declaratory judgment for two and one-half weeks, continue to implement the Act, and only then file a belated motion to clarify.”
The Judge displayed his annoyance with marvelous bursts of dry wit. “While I believe that my order was as clear and unambiguous as it could be,” he wrote in his ruling today, “it is possible that the defendants may have perhaps been confused or misunderstood its import. Accordingly, I will attempt to synopsize the 78-page order and clarify its intended effect.” That’s called “snark” when it comes from anyone except a judge.
Contrary to what he and many of his cult members feel; Obama is not the sole judge of constitutionality. In my books we call his style of government a dictatorship.
There may be a few other republics out there.
Maybe a few other democracies, too.
Certainly there are parliamentary rulerships.
BUT you must hand it to the Founding Fathers for balancing three co-equal parts of government.
Obama certainly did an end-run around the Congress what with his czars and regulations et al.
But he cannot out-run the courts.
