Fox Spins Health Care Ruling To Declare "Victory" For Opponents
March 04, 2011 4:51 pm ET — 12 Comments
Fox News has declared that the latest ruling by a Florida judge on litigation over the constitutionality of the health care reform law handed a "victory to health care opponents." In fact, the ruling actually allowed the government to go forward with enforcement of the law, and at least one Republican governor opposed to the law has stated that, in light of the ruling, he will restart his state's efforts to implement the law.

Actually Media Matter is wrong on this one. No surprise there.

FOX reported it correctly. The judge did hand a victory to those who oppose ObamaCare. The judge later stated that he considered his ruling to be followed by the Obama Administration and that meant that they should have stopped.

Further, the judge has clarified his ruling and has bitchslapped the Obama administration for their stalling techniques. Instead of filing an appeal Holder and his justice dept. crew filed for a 'clarification.' This week the same judge issued another statement 'clarifying' and outright telling the Obama administration that they need to stop delaying, they have 7 days to file an appeal, or they must cease implementation of ObamaCare in its entirety.

Dozens, if not hundreds of sources show that Media Matters missed the facts and reported its bias. Here are just a couple:
Florida judge ramps up pressure on Obamacare
March 3rd, 2011 11:49 am PT
“During the four-plus weeks since entry of my order, the defendants have seemingly continued to move forward and implement the act. ... While I believe that my order was as clear and unambiguous as it could be, it is possible that the defendants may have perhaps been confused or misunderstood its import. Accordingly, I will attempt to synopsize the 78-page order and clarify its intended effect.”

Judge Orders 'Expedited Appeal' of Obamacare for the Good of the Nation
Friday, March 04, 2011
By Susan Jones
(CNSNews.com) - A federal judge in Florida, clearly annoyed by the Justice Department's request for "clarification" of his ruling that the new health care law is unconstitutional, on Thursday granted a stay of his February ruling -- but only if the government files an appeal seeking an expedited review of that ruling, either in the Court of Appeals or with the Supreme Court, within 7 days.

Judge Roger Vinson noted that the Obama administration has had more than a month to file an appeal and has not yet done so. "It should not be at all difficult or challenging to 'fast-track' this case," he wrote in his clarification.

"It is very important to everyone in this country that this case move forward as soon as practically possible."

In clarifying his order, Judge Vinson noted that he declared the health care law's individual mandate unconstitutional -- and because the individual mandate provision cannot be separated from the rest of the law, "the entire legislation was void."​

Judge Clarifies That When He Declared ObamaCare Void, He Really Meant It

. . . The attorneys representing the plaintiffs, who include Florida and 25 other states, argued that the administration's "motion to clarify" was actually a veiled request to have Vinson stay (i.e., set aside) his original order blocking implementation. Vinson agreed, and therefore treated the Obama administration's "motion to clarify" as a motion to stay, which he granted. Vinson made clear, however, that if the administration fails to file a notice of appeal by March 10 or fails to seek an expedited appeal either with the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals or the Supreme Court, then his stay will lift and the administration will (once again) be barred from implementing or enforcing ObamaCare. In other words, Vinson prevented the Obama administration from treating his stay as an excuse to ignore his ruling while the further entrenching the law . . .​
