On January 31st, when Judge Roger Vinson declared the individual mandate of ObamaCare to be unconstitutional, he also determined that the legislation could not be severed from the rest of the legislation, nullifying the entire law. This means that, unless and until a higher court stays or overturns Judge Vinson’s decision, ObamaCare is no longer the law of the land.
Similarly, all regulations derived from the health care takeover have been voided by Judge Vinson’s ruling, and every bureaucrat at the Department of Health and Human Services (DHS), Center for Medicare and Medicaid Service (CMS), and any other affected agency must stop what they are doing this instant.
The White House has yet to follow the law as expressed by the court and ensure that every single employee of the executive branch does the same.
