No, he did not "defy" anyone. After the Affordable Care Act passed congress, it was appealed by several state attorneys general. One federal judge upheld it, while another did not. The case eventually proceeded to the U.S. Supreme Court, which is the final say in such matters. The Supreme Court in mid-2012 voted to uphold the law, saying it was in fact constitutional.
