Obama Health Care Law Upheld, Fed Court Dismisses Challenge

Like I said, "It ain't over"... Was there some part of that that was unclear? It's not "much of win"...But I'll take it.

It's a win because the court upheld that the state had no standing... If Virginia had no standing, then the other states don't either...

Perhaps you also missed my comment: "It ain't over...."

Now......who is the one who only reads headlines? Huh?

Obama Health Care Law Upheld, Federal Court Dismisses Challenge To Affordable Care Act

A federal appeals court has dismissed a challenge to President Barack Obama's health care reform law.

The ruling vacates a lower court's decision that the centerpiece of the Affordable Care Act requiring U.S. citizens to buy health insurance or pay a penalty starting in 2014 is unconstitutional.

The 4th circuit court of appeals did not rule on the question of whether the individual mandate is constitutional. Instead, it found that Virginia did not have sufficient standing to bring the lawsuit in the first place.

Obama wins another round.... It ain't over... But that's another one down....

:woo hoo:

I would hardly call this a win. This was not an issue of whether the law is Constitutional, this is an issue of who has the standing to challenge it. The 4th circut simply said that a state has no standing to challenge it in Federal court.

And it was decided by 3 Dems and 2 of them were appointed by Obama.

And we all know that judges can never be impartial or objectively decide a case - wait, what logic are you using again?
