Either the Congress was informed months (years) ago of these changes (and has been playing us), or the President must await Congressional Review of Major Changes.
Is this like ‘notice to Congress’ before releasing 5 Taliban commanders from GITMO?
What it is is grounds for a suit before the Supreme Court.
In all of the raised voices from congress critters on this subject, I have seen no one mention this.
Which begs the question:
Does congress actually know the law?
They do not read or write the laws they pass.
I’ve been looking at the law the last few hours and ran across this section.
Doesn’t it say that Congress has on the order of 2 YEARS to review major changes?
come now Obama read previous laws. remeber he is graduate from Harvard. Even the store clerks in Cambridge Masachusetts know that either the Harvard and MIT students cannot either read or do math. So Obummer had someone else read this for him. Joe Biden or Bo the dog, you know either one of them has more smarts than Obama. Look Biden gets led around, just like BO the dog.
The Congress can't.

Boehner is suing over ObamaCare. Where is he suing at?
I understand that.
Neither do I write the traffic laws, but it is not an excuse for getting caught doing 100 MPH on the interstate.
This story should have been posted by some congress critter, not by someone here with a screen name.
All the more credit to him.
He should ber in congress.

Wait until chief jester, er I mean, chief justice Juan Roberts puts his interpretation to those grounds.
Then sue the Obamstard there!
Seems to spell it out very clearly, including funding.
Even John Roberts will have trouble turning “2 Years time to review a major change” into a tax.
DC Circuit Court
It needs to go to the Supremes, if there is an unlawful EO.
Otherwise, run the clock out on this congress, and let the next Senate pass one of the already passed House immigration bills and send it to Obama.
Right now, Obama is no closer to amnesty than he was a month ago. But he sure did rattle a lot of cages with his yapping.
/johnny
No. Did they read Obamacare?
It's hard for me to have confidence in the SC any more, not that I had all that much before.
