Remember when the White House could only spend money as allocated by Congress. Of course, that was when we had a real president in the White House. The usurper does not think he is constrained by the Constitution.
IRS also gets the authority to water-board for fun
Interesting and good.
The IRS cannot, by itself, change the law - which this suit asserts.
That is, the IRS, by itself, decided to change the part of the law that says the feds will subsidize premiums for individuals who reside in states that set up an exchange.
The IRS changed the law by simply deciding to subsidize premiums for individuals in ALL states - irrespective of whether the State set up an exchange.
The suit alleges that is injures some people - such people are plaintiffs.
I like it.
This is a really important lawsuit. As the law is clearly written (well, at least this part of the law is clear), federal subsidies only go to people in states where there are state exchanges. If you live in a state without a state exchange, you are not eligible for the subsidies. And if you are not eligible for the subsidies, then your employer is not subject to the penalties imposed on employers (over a certain size) who fail to provide health insurance to their employees. This is another aspect of the law that renders it completely non-functional in large parts of the nation. So the IRS is attempting to essentially re-write it by regulatory fiat.
