I fully expect it will ALL be done by decree. This jerk couldn’t get a law through Congress again if his life depended on it. The entire balance of his rule will be done entirely by illegal decree.
Will Congress stand for it? I don’t see that they have much choice unless something huge happens in November 2014.
In principle... if enough Democrats get disgusted with this, an impeachment/conviction could happen.
And really, a bunch of Democrats needs a scapegoat desperately now. Why not our dear Big Ears?
Not only is the PPACA not being enforced, he is "changing the law" and encouraging businesses and government agencies - state and federal - to violate law. He is using the bully pulpit to promote criminality.
These decrees are a violation of law, his intimidation of businesses and government agencies, and encouraging others to violate law, are unacceptable. He is a scofflaw.
Impeachment is the remedy.
The lawlessness and chaos must stop.
“Will Congress stand for it? I don’t see that they have much choice unless something huge happens in November 2014.”
That depends...We do have precedence for action against the executive branch by Congress in the Reconstruction Acts after the Civil War. Thaddeus Stevens effectively removed the CIC role from President Johnson and put him through a meat grinder. The congress ran the entire government with little interference from the president or the courts until about 1872. I’m not judging this one way or the other but simply pointing out that a president can be taken down by congress.
