First Virginia, now Florida

The ruling in Virginia was a noted victory for We the People, but the ruling in Florida is an even bigger victory.

A judge named Roger Vinson, for the U.S. District Court in the Northern District of Florida, ruled the mandate requiring individuals to get health coverage unconstitutional.  According to The Wall Street Journal, this ruling is more important than the Virginia ruling because Judge Vinson also ruled the entire ObamaCare law must be declared void since the mandate is “not severable” from the rest of the law.

This is a major victory for two reasons: 1) the ruling by Judge Vinson in Florida puts the entire law potentially on the cutting block and 2) not only was Florida involved, but so was 25 other states as well (including my own state of Indiana), so this was seen as a titanic struggle between the federal government and state's rights.

The fight isn't over, as the ruling is also seen as a guarantee of the case going all the way to the Supreme Court.  Nevertheless, as was in Virginia, the ruling in Florida brings considerable hope that we're on the way out of the darkness of the Obama administration.

Much thanks to former Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum and current Attorney General Pam Bondi for leading the way, and also to the other Attorneys General (including my own, Greg Zoeller) for joining in the fight.
