We will be prepared, said Obama aide Valerie Jarrett this week when asked about White House contingency plans in the event that Obamacare is struck down by the Supreme Court. But on Twitter, Marc Ambinder of The Atlantic said something interesting: that the White House has executive orders ready to go if Obamacare is struck down. Their content and timing I dont know, Marc says. But theyve got contingency plans a-plenty.
Its not clear to me exactly how much of Obamacare can be reinstated via executive order. Its certainly conceivable that the president could issue costly mandates that affect private insurers. But the president couldnt expand Medicaid on his own, or ration Medicare without congressional approval.
He’s gonna push till something breaks.
Question is when do “We The People” decide enough is enough.
The legislative branch and the judicial branch are very close to irrelevance. I wonder if they appreciate the gravity of Mr. Audacity’s actions.
Good. People need to be pushed to the point they push back. Everyone has their limits and The Dems know how wholly unwilling the average American is to stand for what they believe in. Thus the mess we see today
So until people are pushed to a point that overcomes their reluctance to straighten their spines, I say Bring on the EOs a’plenty. The sooner we hit that point, the sooner we can begin to fix the mess.
and if we dont follow his lead and pay he is going to send the government after us. Bring it on numbnuts!!!!
Of Course! Who in Congress will stop him? Dictator Obama knows that he can do whatever he wants to do.
BTW, Dictators only have the power that the people allow them to have.

Srsly? You need to revise your screenname.
Signed .... the Tea Party Movement
The court can't make the administration enforce any law.
“Then Obama can decree any thing at that point.”
Indeed, he can, and will. He has clearly revealed the dedicated Socialist Autocrat that he is; his disdain for our Constitution and the prerogatives of our elected legislators.
Meanwhile, we wait for those legislators to exercise their authority to impeach.
How could he fund it? The House would cut him off from money.
She's also the one who said that Obama would be "ready to rule on day one" (emphasis added).
He might.. why wouldn’t he? He’s gotten away with power grabs thus far.
“Tea Party Movement”
I was speaking of the American People. I case you haven’t noticed, after all Obama has done to destroy America, he is very likely to be win 4 more years. The Tea Party can’t even dent the GOP. I guess you haven’t noticed Obama lite is the GOP choice.
The American Revolution didn’t happen because of clever pamphlets or navel gazing circle j@rk$. If you are suggesting wet work, then you might get my attention. I will be reading about the swat raid on your abode on Free Republic.
Simple, another EO to unilaterally increase the debt ceiling and have his minions at the Fed increase the RPM's on the printing presses.
As a side note, many of the provisions of Health Care Reform are hidden in other laws such as the American Recovery Act.
Hes gonna push till something breaks.

Rioting invites two things:
1) martial law which means no elections
2) invasion
There are only two things to do:
1) pray with faith, forgiving all
2) vote
If he does that, then Congress needs to immediately cut off funds.
Secession will work too.
It won’t be pretty, but the Left aren’t very good at attacking armed people.
Since the GOP took a public relations hit in the 1995 government shutdown, they won’t ever withhold funds again. Look what happens every time a so-called budget crisis pops up- they fold like a house of cards.
Anyone left that is still actually naive enough to believe that an announcement tomorrow striking down the mandate will have any meaning/effect whatsoever? Tomorrows announcement is just a meaningless exercise.
