The 1st Thread/The Gravel For 8/2/10: Bush Appointee Federal Judge Rules Virginia Was Right To Sue Obamacare

Oh dear, the repeal campaign will start revving up again:

A federal judge Monday refused to dismiss a Virginia lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the federal health-care law, handing the law's foes their first victory in a courtroom battle likely to last years.

U.S. District Court Judge Henry E. Hudson rejected arguments from Obama administration lawyers that Virginia has no standing to sue over the law and no chance of ultimately prevailing in its constitutional claim.

Hudson was appointed by Bush in 2002 and was, randomly enough, the judge to give Michael Vick his sentencing from the dogfighting era.

But I guess it's a okay for a judge with Bush ties to create a ridiculous and insane process of lawsuits from now, not only in "Bob McDonnell Land" but maybe even a number of other states getting ruined by the nutcase party.

This country really does loathe itself.
