Judge allows states' healthcare suit to proceed | Reuters
(Reuters) - U.S. states can proceed with their lawsuit seeking to overturn President Barack Obama's landmark healthcare reform law, a Florida judge ruled on Thursday.
U.S. District Judge Roger Vinson had already indicated at a hearing last month that he could not uphold parts of a motion by the Justice Department to dismiss the lawsuit, led by Florida and 19 other states.
Do you actually read what you post? Either you only read the headline. Or you're intentionally misleading. Which is it? From your article:
Vinson clearly didn't think much of the repug AG's claims.
As to the two claims he allowed to go further, Judge Vinson wrote:
"In this order, I have not attempted to determine whether the line between constitutional and extraconstitutional government has been crossed.....I am only saying that ... the plaintiffs have at least stated a plausible claim that the line has been crossed"
Finally, also from your link:
We saw this with the Social Security Act, the Civil Rights Act, and the Voting Rights Act -- constitutional challenges were brought to all three of these monumental pieces of legislation, and all of those challenges failed," presidential adviser Stephanie Cutter wrote in a blog post.
so don't go tearing your underwear over this yet. there are very limited bases to dismiss a case so long as there is ANY cognizable claim. Judges don't make finding of facts on motions to dismiss. They are required to take all assertions as truthful on their face. ......
even if they're bogus.
As if Obamacare is on the same Tier as the Civil Rights or Voting Act.
