So you disappear from the site for months, and the first thing you fight about upon return is whether or not Obama making a speech setting aside a portion of his signature legislation? What made you deny reality while gone?
Is this your coy insanely wingnut anti-Obama way of saying that you missed me?
Or are you really upset about people being late?
I'm upset about Obama behaving like a dictator and thinking that his words have the power to change law without Congress.
The Blaze disagrees.“HHS will be using its enforcement discretion to allow for this transition,” the official said, according to the Washington Times. “Enforcement discretion can be used generally in transitions, as well as a bridge towards legislation. This is something that has been used, for example, with the deferred action for childhood arrivals policy, pending immigration reform.”
Choosing not to enforce the law is legally different from changing it, and something this President has already done a couple of times.
Just because he's done it a couple times doesn't make it legal. The executive branch is tasked with carrying out the laws. They do not have the authority to toss a blanket over all enforcement of a law. Prosecutorial discretion was designed for use on a case-by-case basis, not as a blanket policy to ignore the implementation of a duly passed law. Remember all the Democrats crying that Congress couldn't change Obamacare because it's the law of the land? Why aren't they crying about Obama blatantly changing it through refusal to enforce it?
Because they like Obamacare and want to see it work? Or maybe you've gotten a bit to used to Glenn Beck and the whole crying schtick?
