You remember the catchy little phrasing of the Bamster when he gave that rousing sermon on "Words Have Meaning", don't you? With the repetitive litany of an evangelical minister or Jesse Jackson on the stump, he cycled the rhetorical, "Just words?" through the Gettysburg Address, Martin Luther King's Dream and Lady Gaga's last MTV award acceptance speech to highlight that language really has meaning and can't be discounted lightly.
Law is language taken to an ideally higher level. It should REALLY have meaning. When the Attorneys General of 26 states (that's almost half of the Messiah's total of 57 which he visited on his campaign) challenge the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare, on the mandate for Americans to buy a private company's product you've got to check the language.
A federal judge has done just that now:
Unconstitutional and Unseverable
The judge ruled that the government can't force folks to buy something if they don't want it. Since the law didn't manage to shoehorn in the traditional severability clause in the cramped 2600 pages of detail, that means the whole bloody thing is duck soup.
This should be hitting the agenda of the Big Nine in short order. And unless we've really had a serious shakeup there, I can see this being the end of a bad situation.

I hope you're correct Ed.
Well, I don't think she's started her aria yet, but the fat lady is definitely warming up.
Don't kid yourself; the Dems will definitely try to slow down any elevation to the Supremes until Obamabi can tip the balance with yet another Marxist collaborator on the big bench.
Despite an excellent job crafting a well-worded decision on the case, Judge Vinson did screw up: he should have issued an injunction against implementation of the unconstitutional law - that only a higher court could lift.
