Judge Vinson to Obama - Get To Gettin' on ObamaCare Appeal

Politico: U.S. District Judge Roger Vinson put the health care reform law on a fast track to the Supreme Court on Thursday — giving the Obama administration just seven days to file an appeal and signaling to fellow jurists that the time for a decision is now.
Vinson called his order a stay, but the real message was clear: Hurry up.

What Judge Vinson did today was to take away the Obama administration's delay tactics, by treating the administration's motion to "clarify" and a motion to stay. However, the stay to his earlier ruling is only in effect provided the administration appeals to the 11th Circuit Court or the Supreme Court in seven days.

It is in the administration's best interest to delay going to the Supreme as long as possible. This is because the further down the road the implementation of ObamaCare goes, the greater the possibility the Supremes might be reluctant to strike it down. It is a long shot, but still another factor in the administration's favor.

Vinson's ruling today pretty much closes off that option.

I really like this guy Vinson, not only did he completely shot down mandate and ObamaCare in total, he put an end to the administrations courtroom shenanigans.
