Religious conservatives are weighing in on a federal judge agreeing with the constitutional challenge launched by Florida against the health care law backed by Presidential Barack Obama.

During a press conference Tuesday, Gov. Rick Scott outlined his plans for announcing his budget recommendations and spoke about meeting with federal agency heads in Washington, D.C., during his trip there Monday, and about the ruling striking down the health care law.

Just in time for what should be an interesting mayoral election in the Bold New City of the South, powerhouse lobbying firm Smith & Ballard opened up an office in Jacksonville to be led by two prominent figures -- veteran Republican strategist Susie Wiles and Jacksonville Jaguar legend Tony Boselli.

Like the rest of the congressional delegation, the freshmen from Florida broke on party lines over federal judge Roger Vinsons decision to rule the health care law backed by President Barack Obamaunconstitutional. The new Republicans backed the decision while Democratic U.S. Rep. Frederica Wilson opposed it.

On Monday, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee --who ran for the Republican presidential nomination in 2008 and may do so again in 2012 --offered his thoughts on a federal judge ruling that the health care law backed by President Barack Obama was unconstitutional.

With federal Judge Roger Vinson ruling that the health care law backed by President Barack Obama is unconstitutional, the matter clearly appears to be headed to the Supreme Court of the United States -- making Justice Anthony Kennedy, once again, the man in the middle.

Look at the courts makeup. The conservative block -- namely Justices Roberts, Scalia, Thomas and Alito -- will almost certainly back Vinson and oppose the law as unconstitutional. The liberals on the bench -- Ginsburg, Breyer, Sotomayor and Kagan -- will, in all likelihood, support the law.

With Florida once again the center of political attention on Monday when federal Judge Roger Vinson of the U.S. District Court in Pensacola struck down the federal health care law backed by President Barack Obama as unconstitutional, the Sunshine States congressional delegation broke on party lines in their reaction to the decision.

With an eye on taking on Democratic U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson in 2012, Florida Republican U.S. Rep. Connie Mack praised the decision by federal Judge Roger Vinson declaring the health care law backed by President Barack Obama unconstitutional and called for the Senate to pass a measure repealing it.

Gov. Rick Scott's office issued a statement Monday praising a ruling issued by a Pensacola district court judge, Roger Vinson, declaring the health care law passed last year by Democrats unconsitutional. Notably, he did not mention former Attorney General Bill McCollum, his opponent in the Republican primary who instigated the lawsuit, as Senate President Mike Haridopolos did in his statement.

Senate President Mike Haridopolos, R-Merritt Island, released a statement Monday praising district court Judge Roger Vinson's ruling declaring part of the Affordable Care Act unconstitutional, and urging the U.S. Senate to take up the health care repeal bill passed by the U.S. House.

It was a chance for Haridopolos to chide U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson's support for the health care law. He has already announced his intention to replace Nelson, provided he makes it through what is likely to be a crowded field for the Republican nomination.
