26 states are within their legal rights to ignore 0bamacare....
Well, 25, since Vinson admitted he didn't know the implication of his ruling for Michigan. And for the brief period where that was true (before Vinson stayed his own ruling), that means 26 jurisdictions did fall under the ACA. Which means the federal-level activity (i.e. high-level policy setting and grantmaking to states) was still necessary and not in opposition to Vinson's ruling at all.
Those who take issue with the states who were part to that litigation and continued to implement the nuts-and-bolts of the ACA are missing the mark if they think that decision was made at the federal level.
