Judge Vinson is an American patriot, a graduate of the USNA, a veteran, and one of President Reagan’s appointments.

The lamestream can try to smear him, but that’s nothing new.

They’re Marxists and anti-Constitution, anti-God, anti-Life, anti-Liberty anti-2nd Amendment and all things we stand for right here at FREE REPUBLIC!

Paging “baby killer” Stupak.

Glad Greta kept her mouth shut until today!

Well put.

Maybe this will teach some lawmakers to read before voting.

You betcha! He was the best in our life time.
I am praying we get another.

President Reagan’s legacy lives! Huge impact today.

God bless President Reagan always!

When was the last time you called a doctor and said you needed to see him and couldn’t pay? Try it, you might be surprised. He’ll never hear you, the nurse will stop you dead in your tracks.
I’m against obamacare, who isn’t? But the poor don’t get whatever and whenever. Not even on Medicare and Medicaid.

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

I am reading comments from the progressive left all over the net calling him names.

Here is the opinion...

Wasn’t there another judge who ruled it unconstitional?

[onyx]

Nancy and Harry didn't read it.
The Judge did.
Nancy and Harry didn't know what was in it.
The Judge did.

LOL. Too true!!!

[ForGod'sSake]

Then you can start by allowing the purchase of insurance across state lines!

I have kicked that idea around and believe it could be a mixed blessing. Just one more "police" power removed from the states and placed under feral jurisdiction. I dunno...

[DoughtyOne]

Yep, I’d say that’s a very real possibility these days.

[DoughtyOne]

Smile, yes it would.

States benefiting from the ruling:

Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, Indiana, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, Mississippi, Nebraska, Nevada, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Washington, Wisconsin, Wyoming.

Remember Nancy Pelosi’s famous quote when asked about the Constitutionality of Obamacare...“are you serious?”

Answer: yes Nancy, yes we are.

[BenLurkin]

Yes. It will be a 5/4 decision.

[DoughtyOne]

Here’s to that! Hickup. Excuse me. ;^)

[alancarp]

Whoops - somehow I managed to omit FLORIDA.

[diamond6]

LOL!!!! Yes, Obama is the one they’ve been waiting for.
