...Although the Constitution has no Article VIII, the administration acts as though there is one that reads: “Notwithstanding all that stuff in other articles about how laws are made, if a president finds a law politically inconvenient, he can simply post on the White House Web site a notice saying: Never mind.”
Never mind that the law stipulates 2014 as the year when employers with 50 full-time workers are mandated to offer them health-care coverage or pay fines. Instead, 2015 will be the year. Unless Democrats see a presidential election coming.
This lesson in the Obama administration’s approach to the rule of law is pertinent to the immigration bill, which at last count had 222 instances of a discretionary “may” and 153 of “waive.” Such language means that were the Senate bill to become law, the executive branch would be able to do pretty much as it pleases, even to the point of saying about almost anything: Never mind.

It doesn't take Passing the Bar Exam to read the Plain Language of the U.S. Constitution, or the Declaration of Independence, and KNOW that this Country is out-of-control with Agenda-driven/Money-Driven/Ignore-the-Constitution-driven Corrupt Power Mongers.
Obama’s understanding of the executive branch is that it is where the rubber hits the road. Congress gives him a menu of laws that he can either enforce or not, and it is totally up to his discretion which, if any, laws he enforces.
Unless and until the laws are all specifically written with provisions for the public to force enforcement or be able to sue government employees personally for statutory fines for failure to enforce, none of the laws mean anything. They are just a list of options for what could possibly be enforced if we ever had a president who wanted to enforce it.
Obama really does think he is the king. And until he suffers consequences - real, personal consequences like a jail cell - he will have “gotten away with” being the king of the US.
We are facing King George III all over again.
I remember George Will.
Period.....people give Vacation Boy entirely too much credit.
Revolution is the only solution.
It’s calculated. He knows nobody will do anything to stop him, to force him, to hold him accountable. How many divisions does George Will have? I’m starting to envy countries who have occasional coup d’etats to take out the trash which accumulates in all human systems, political or business.
If the President can delay implementation of the Obamacare law, why can't he delay, or declare null and void, any other law?
We are on a very dangerous slope with this guy and all of his willing accomplices.....
Impeachment File on Benghazi Coward “B. Hussein Obama,” formerly known as Barry Soetoro, a Legal Citizen of the Sovereign Nation of Indonesia.
“he’s the front for Jarrett, Axelrod, Soros and Ayers. “, and CAIR.
I’d suggest that Bill Errs.
nobama and his minions should be imprisoned. nobama should be waterboarded to determine who he really is.
“front for Jarrett, Axelrod, Soros and Ayers.”
Unfortunately not many are aware of who they are and what they’re doing.
They stay in the background working their evil while obama skips right along.
I hope these cretins are caught in their own web soon.
They think up the strategies, but they’re all on the same ideological track (marxist/muslím) as Obama. With him, they have found the perfect vehicle: arrogant, delusional, contemptuous of the concept of law and of our country’s laws and traditions in particular, and with dreams of dictatorship and rule by fiat.
Obama is dumb as a post and lazy to boot, but he’s canny, vicious, and filled with hatred of the US and our system. That’s all it takes.
