"A federal judge in Florida says the Obama administration's health overhaul is unconstitutional, siding with 26 states that had sued to block it."

"U.S. District Judge Roger Vinson on Monday accepted without trial the states' argument that the new law violates people's rights by forcing them to buy health insurance by 2014 or face penalties."

MORE: NYT:
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.
That is, the judge rejected the severability argument.
The judge’s ruling came in the most prominent of the more than 20 legal challenges mounted against some aspect of the sweeping health law... 
The plaintiffs include governors and attorneys general from 26 states....

Everything Florida writes is a giant turd. Turd after turd after turd.

I may leave my own little boluses from time to time, but I have never tried to take over every single thread I choose to comment in.

You need to learn some self-restraint, clown. As my dear old dad used to say, constipation of the brain leads to diarrhea of the mouth.

I have some seriously bad news for you, Tyrone. Ad hominem bullsh*t such as you've posted is not a persuasive argument.

At 6:52 yesterday Florida asked how many hospitals Obama had caused to be built. This is actually a trick question -- as Florida may have known -- because the true number is -45. That's negative 45, 45 less than zero, or, in practical terms, forty-five hospitals that are blocked from being built under Section 6001 of Obamacare.

Welcome to the real world, Tyrone. Let me know how you like living in it.

I don't have a problem with Florida. He's no moby. Mobies misstate conservative arguments because they don't understand them. They have only a cartoon-like comprehension of conservatism because they don't understand conservatism and only know what they've been told about it by idiots like Keith Olbermann.

Florida understands the argument for liberty, the concept of inalienable rights, the real purpose of the 2nd amendment and Jeffersonian idealism and expresses it precisely, if brusquely. I think he overstates the number of people who will be manning the barricades, and it won't be like Egypt at all, because it will be a free people asserting their inalienable rights, rather than an unfree people substituting one form of oppression for another.

The libtards want to shut Florida up. They want to marginalize him through lazy ad hominems and personal invective. But they are whistling past the graveyard. but they should be afraid of what they will have wrought if they keep going down this path.

The government exists to serve the people, not the other way around. I don't think that the health care bill is the breaking point, at least immediately. But there IS a breaking point. There IS a point beyond which libtards in government must not go, or we are no longer a free people.

I know that the concept of free people, rugged individuals, make libtards very nervous. They should be.

More than a thousand Democrat political careers were snuffed out in the last election. Add to that untold numbers of political appointees and other recipients of patronage. The people have spoken. And still the libtards have not gotten the message.

My view is that you should help BOTH the poor in your own country and the poor in other countries!!!!!! If you made some cuts to your defence budget you could afford it!!!!

I actually agree with the points Florida tries so hard to make. Unfortunately he makes them like that drunk asshole on the barstool next to you who is too hostile to let you agree with him. If he's not a moby, he might as well be. Brusquely, indeed. As far as ad hominems go, I threw the term "clown" out there, and Florida fell all over himself picking it up and putting it on. It just happens to fit him to a tee.
