On Tuesday, he argued in the Times that if Obama loses in the King v. Burwell decision at the Supreme Court, he should ignore its orders on Obamacare completely except for the actual plaintiffs in the suit.

Actually, this is in and of itself a very conservative position. Going all the way back to before Marbury.

I believe A. Lincoln advocated something like it for the Dred Scott case.

Should Obama do it, it will create a very interesting precedent that say a Walker or Cruz administration could use for all sorts of things.

Also, I’m not sure Lincoln counts as a conservative — after all, he really started the move from the Founders’ federal system to what we have now, essentially a unitary state with the “states” being somewhat autonomous provinces.
