Fed Judge Issues Stern Words to Obama Admin: One Week to Appeal HC Ruling

(By Jonathon M. Seidl, The Blaze) - A federal judge in Florida issued some stern criticism aimed at the Obama Administration today, after the Justice Department tried to bog down his decision ruling all of the president’s health care overhaul unconstitutional.

District Judge Roger Vinson told administration attorneys they have seven days to appeal his decision. If they don’t meet that deadline, Vinson said the states can then consider the law invalid.

Florida and 25 states sued to block the law, and Vinson ruled on Jan. 31 that the entire law was unconstitutional. Instead of appealing the ruling, however, the administration waited two and one-half weeks to file for a clarification, asking if his ruling meant amounted to a “stay” of the law.
