After you, Mr. Resident...
Oh lol...Sorry, I didn’t read properly. Still...lol!
Uhn k.
Luv yuh Kev but, I’m having a blonde moment and not getting the full import of your thought.
In the same breath Obama probably granted another exemption to the “law?”
This has been covered elsewhere. While the method was reprehensible, the ACA did (sort of) originate as a funding bill in the House. It started life as something to do with funding military housing. When it reached the Senate, Harry Reid used a technique known as a “shell bill”, where he deleted everything after the first sentence of the bill, and wrote in the ACA language. The “shell bill” strategy stretches the Senate’s authority to “amend” bills rather far, but so far this kind of thing hasn’t been challenged.
They are following the law. It’s called the constitution and it gives them the power and discretion to do exactly what they are doing.
Soetoro has altered the law himself many times. It is no longer the law that was passed and ruled on. An executive order which isn’t that is a congressional law that isn’t. Totally unConsitutional.
I think it’s only the penalty/fine/punishment for not getting insurance that SCOTUS considered a tax. But you have the right idea. The House can re-set the penalty/fine/punishment/tax at their discretion. Make it $1 dollar per year and eliminate the progressive increase. $1 per year every year forever. If that’s all you have to pay to not comply 0bamaCare will be dead in it’s tracks.
Don’t tell me it’s “settled law”.
We had “Settled Law” to build a fence on the southern border, with funding, but a subsequent Democratic Congress defunded and repealed it. Why didn’t the Democrats just go along with building the fence?
