Mississippi Judge Dismisses Healthcare Case

Not every southern judge is a flaming wingnut with a tea party agenda of madness:

WASHINGTON -- The Obama administration won a victory Thursday in the winding legal debate surrounding the president's signature health care law, as a federal judge in Mississippi threw out a suit challenging the constitutionality of the bill.

The judge, Keith Starret, who serves on the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi, ruled that plaintiffs suing over the coming implementation of the individual mandate did not demonstrate sufficient standing for him to take the case.

But, but, but the Founders and John Quincy Adams and Kenyans and, and, and the Constitution doesn't allow taxes (yes it does).
