Obviously this will eventually go all the way to the Supreme Court, but the scholarly ruling by Judge Vinson was well crafted and a real boost to overturning the law. Actually, you now have to say it HAS been overturned, in its entirety, and only a successful series of appeals can save it, absent Congressional action.

I am not sure how easy it is to allow most of the last 75 years of New Deal Great Society Garbage and then draw the line at Obamacare. But then the Supreme Court has been more of a political body than a judicial body – so it will be up to what side of the bed Anthony Kennedy falls out on (he is Sandra Day O’ Connor’s successor as “swing justice”) which will come up with some concept of the Constitution circa 2011.
