The Judge Says: "I Wasn't Joking, Knock It Off"

On Thursday, Judge Vinson issued his ruling on the “motion to clarify,” and it’s a doozy. The press is reporting that Judge Vinson stayed his original ruling overturning the law, allowing implementation of Obamacare to continue. That’s true — but it’s only a fraction of the story.

Vinson’s new ruling can justly be described as a smack-down of the administration. Quoting an appellate ruling, he notes, “A declaratory judgment is a real judgment, not just a bit of friendly advice.”

Should congress have to power to regulate your mental activity, or order you to buy and eat broccoli?  Silly as it sounds, that's what one has to argue to support the constitutionality of the individual mandate within "Obamacare."

I'd be happy if they could self-regulate their own mental activity, which, manifestly, they cannot.
