The president cannot simply decide who does and does not have to follow the law...

This is true under a constitutional form of government. Under a dictator, not so much.

From what I can see, he is doing a pretty damn good job of it. In addition,he has violated the CVonstitution more than all other Presidents combined, and no one in power appears to give a damn.

If the people,Americans, not the parasites that voted for him,do not stop him, he will not stop until the United States is totally and completely destroyed.

Since Obamacare is unconstitutional the waivers are not unconstitutional.

(Administration’s argument in court)

If the term "except" appears anywhere in the text it's up to the administrator of the law to decide if the regulations apply.

I doubt the Democrats forgot to put in "except".

I'm surprised that it has taken this long for this issue to be to recognized. I had started to assume that there was simply a waiver clause built into Obamacare and of course that might still be the case.

Does anyone know if there is such a clause?

If there is it probably is still unconstitutional. Without it there is no doubt.

The Republican elected president in 2012 should simply waive ObamaCare for the rest of America.
THEN work on repealing it.

I've been wondering how long it would take for this to become an issue. It obviates the whole "rule of law" concept.

Good question.

If there is no provision in the law for the issuing of waivers, then selective enforcement would seem to be unconsitutional.

If there is a provision in the law for the issuing of waivers, then the provision should have to specify the reasons a waiver might be granted and those reasons would have to be applied in a fair manner.

Yes, the alternative strategy to blow Obama Regulations out of the water is to use them against their allies.

This is much more effective, I don’t know why conservative groups don’t do it more. They feel it is perverse because they don’t support these laws and regulations, but it is necessary to show the public that the weight of these is suffocating to all.

I believe that precedent in the courts could force the courts to rule that New York City under the same logic of denying houses from being built near rivers or introducing wolves to the west must be returned to the wild and the city abandoned.

Sounds a little like some of the arguments during the recount ... equal rights.

By allowing waivers, the law creates inherent sub-classes of citizens which is in violation of the 14th Amendment.

Our government practices selective enforcement of U.S. law all the time. My company has to comply with immigration law, the competitor down the road does not, and he is ignored. I have to comply with the tax code. Obviously, Charlie Rangel and Timothy Geitner do not. I sort of like the idea of having it written down as to which laws we must comply with and those we can ignore. I have written my senators for an annotated copy of the U.S. Code with an asterisk next to the laws we may ignore. They have not provided it to me yet. Not holding my breath.

[As it happens, waivers have a history. In the Middle Ages, the pope granted waivers, known as dispensations. . .]

These dispensations were exchanged for gifts to the church. Obama’s waivers are being handed out for free.

Congress should pass a waiver for every citizen of the U.S.

Obamacare should be waivered to death.
