ObamaCare Delay Number 38 HHS simply waves away the March 31 enrollment deadline. March 26, 2014 7:23 p.m. ET Liberals say they believe in a living Constitution, and apparently they think the Affordable Care Act is a living document too.

Clearly, Democrats don’t want it, Republicans hate it, and the American people despise it – yet it remains the law. So I have a simple suggestion.
