Did Obama Flout the Law by Delaying Obamacare?

Did he also flout the law by refusing to implement DOMA?
Time for the LIBERTY AMENDMENTS!
PJ, I heard Jamie Dupree opine last week that Congress gives bureaucrats powers to implement through regulation, or not implement parts of laws the Congress has passed. (One more reason to rein-in bureaucrazies). Of course this is what I would have expected Dupree to say since he disguises himself as non-partisan when in fact I can see through the veneer as easily as the rest of you.
This administration chose to ignore DOMA, chose to ignore the Congressional requests for documents regarding Bengazi, Fast & Furious, and on, and on. Is it lawlessness if we refuse to abide the edicts of this Administration and it’s ancillary bureaucracies?
He had to delay the law to find out what’s in it.
Thanks PJ-Comix.
Agreed. I like to hook it into the debt ceiling argument for leverage, too. The GOP can refuse to raise the debt ceiling if the Obamacare isn’t enacted as mandated by Law. As an out for Obama, the GOP can say if Obama agrees to delay the entire law they’ll also be willing to increase the debt ceiling.
Obama would be damned if he did and damned if he didn’t. How in the heck can the public accuse the GOP of shutting down the government in this case? It’s a winner...so much so that I doubt very much Boehner and Co will try it. By the way, I’ve written Boehner’s office with this very plan.
