Levin says that Judge Vinson basically called out the Obama administration for their legal ‘tricks’. The Obama administration filed a motion that said they wouldn’t comply the Judge’s decision unless he clarified what it meant. The judge turned it around on them with a clever compromise. He granted them a stay of his decision for seven days if and only if they file an expedited appeal to have ObamaCare heard in the Supreme Court. Ha! This Judge Vincent sounds like my kinda guy! The Obama Admin wanted to push the date off so they could implement as much as possible before it went to the Supreme Court. Now they are forced to file an expedited appeal. Awesome!

Levin explains it all:

no - they will file an expedited appeal - not an appeal

this can only be construed as a victory for the doj by those that do not understand the ruling - which you don't

glad you are done with the replies because you are wrong about what happened and just love wallowing in 'poor me' and 'everything sucks'

i hope you don't have a spouse - no one could live with all your negativity

what vinson did

Therefore, the defendants’ motion to clarify (doc. 156) is GRANTED, as set

forth above. To the extent that motion is construed as a motion to stay, it is also

GRANTED, and the summary declaratory judgment entered in this case is STAYED

pending appeal, conditioned upon the defendants filing their notice of appeal within

seven (7) calendar days of this order and seeking an expedited appellate review.

"conditioned upon"

your way - it drags out - doj files with 11 circuit and gets its stay

vinson's way - stay for SEVEN DAYS

expedited appeal

no expidited appeal filed after 7 days - no stay

this is a victory and the best possible outcome - your snit fit would do exactly what you do not want to see happen - dragging it out for years

drop the negativity long enough to enjoy a score for our side - we don't have this chance often

I read the paper, and although it was filled with things I never hope to understand, it concluded with plain and simple statement. Obama has no respect for American Law or the Constitution.

i wish i had a unicorn that crapped skittles

the judge is forcing the doj to ask for an expedited appeal - which should move this case faster than the others (the doj does not want THIS case before the scotus) - in your wish, the appeal would be filed today - it would not be expedited - they would get a stay - and your scenario of a 5 year delay would be true

read the ruling - the judge called the doj on their games - he did everything possible to move this case along on the fastest track possible

A rare bit of light in the tunnel. It sure gets old watching the media twist every decision for the last two years somehow into an Obama victory or that every ebb and flow magically benefits Obama.

the motion from the doj was the functional equivalent of a motion to stay

the ruling of the judge was the functional equivalent of a bish slap
