Sir Creep 7,070 Posted April 3, 2023 7 hours ago, tracy said: DDP pick: Florida federal judge Roger Vinson dead of prostate cancer. WooHoo!! Sir Creep should get his 2nd lifetime DDP solo! Of course maybe presiding over the case that allowed the attack on Obamacare (that went to the Supreme Court) isn’t recent enough (2010). If so I have 3 hits but 2 Losts (is that a word?) Here’s when he declared Obamacare unconstitutional. I honestly thought that alone was a shoe-in for a QO but apparently it’s all forgotten in the annals of history. https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/sdut-judge-obamas-health-overhaul-unconstitutional-2011jan31-story.html 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
