What a great victory for Americans. Our Constitution wins a small victorious step today. Thank God.

With any luck the FDA and EPA regulatory end arounds will follow.

Does anyone see how much like Carter this presidency is becoming? Egypt is feeling a lot like Iran in 79 and Obamas' reaction to it is identical.

Judge Roger Vinson of Federal District Court in Pensalcola, Fla., ruled that the law will remain effect until all appeals are concluded, a process that could take two years. However, Judge Vinson determined that the entire law should fall if appellate courts agree with his opinion that the insurance requirement if invalid.

For anyone "keeping score", that's two federal judges who have ruled it unconstitutional, and two federal judges who held that it is constitutional. And it's all part of the process to get it to the Supreme Court.

Please forgive my ignorance: what is a "doorknob" judge?

It's a great victory for those who enjoy seeing their fellow Americans go bankrupt when insurance companies deny their claims.
