A federal appeals court on Thursday rejected Virginia's challenge to President Obama's health care law, saying in a ruling that the state doesn't have a right to bring a lawsuit.

The unanimous decision from the three-judge panel of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals overturns a lower court's decision to declare the law unconstitutional and is the second appellate court ruling in favor of the government's right to require individuals to buy health insurance or pay a penalty.

But the court on Thursday stopped short of ruling whether the individual mandate in the health care law is constitutional; it strictly examined Virginia's right to sue.

It's time for the rest of the states to step up to the plate.

Hollow victory for the leftists. These activist judges are running out of time to further the agenda of Glorious Comrade Leader. Once we have a new president and a new congress in place in the spring of '13 obliterating 0bamascare is going to be job #1.

I agree.  This is a hollow victory at best.

Obama and Klintoon appointees. 

Of course they are going to lick the hand that feeds them.
