Obamacare has been showing signs of being so unenforceable, so expensive, and so utterly stupid that Obama’s administration has had to engage in all manner of patently illegal waivers and delays to maintain theirs lies about it. ------ Presidents are not allowed to decide what part of what laws-or any laws-they do not want to enforce. Michael W. McConnell, a professor of law and director of the Constitutional Law Center at Stanford Law School and a senior fellow at the Hoover Foundation, recently noted that “Article II, Section 3, of the Constitution states that the president ‘shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed.’ This is a duty, not a discretionary power. While the president does have substantial discretion about how to enforce a law, he has no discretion about whether to do so.” ------ Little wonder that the administration has announced that it has postponed the start date of Obamacare’s “employer mandate” from 2014 to 2015. Only it cannot by law postpone it, nor can it issue waivers or any other changes to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
A July 7 Wall Street Journal opinion said “The White House seems to regard laws as mere suggestions, including the laws it help to write. We did not elect a king.
Beware what you wish for and, for decades, the Democratic Party has tried to impose socialized medicine on America. Having blessed it as a tax, my guess is that the Supreme Court will revisit Obamacare to find a reason to declare it unconstitutional.
In the meantime, the voters in 2014 may return control of the Senate to the Republican Party and sustain it in the House. They will repeal it. Obama will veto the repeal, but the veto will be over-ridden by Congress and Obamacare will be as dead as Jacob Marley’s ghost.
