Krauthammer on Obamacare: "This Law Doesn't Even Exist; It Exists In Obama's Head" (video)

KRAUTHAMMER: Remember how Democrats were complaining that when Republicans were trying to overturn Obamacare, it was somehow unpatriotic because it was an attack on the law of the land. This law of the land doesn't even exist; it exists in Obama's head. It's whatever he thinks, he wakes up in the morning and decides what the law is going to be. That is an understatement, that's not the way it's supposed to work. And we had an editorial in The Washington Post of all places, not exactly a right-wing rag, saying that Obama has really overstepped the lines arbitrarily, changing the law, and usurped what Congress is supposed to do.

No law exists any longer, Chuck-O.

The meaning of the word has been corrupted by the leader of your party.

The Obama version of MLK's "I Have A Dream".

He took an oath to enforce the law, not to decide what the laws should be.

Impeach.

Obama Care is the Wet Dream of an Empty Mind and an Oversized Ego.

Hey dummy Krauthammer, hyperbole aside, the law does indeed exist.

Oh, RINO Krauthammer is trying to be cute with a nice little phrase. Didn't this old fool vote for Obama?

Why doesn't he express in the strongest terms that Obama should be impeached?

Oh he didn't because he is just an elitist with ZERO appreciation for the evil we face.

A friend of mine once said you don’t have to actually create art—just imagine it. Maybe Obama could do this with his executive orders. It’s cool.

Not exist? Tell that to the Gestapo when they come after you.

Krauthammer endorsed McCain in 2008 (and almost certainly voted for Romney in 2012).

Taking one sentence out of context and using it to bash Krauthammer because he may not believe exactly what you do gets tiresome really fast.

And look -- anybody on television is "elite." That's a given. If you can look beyond that it might help.

My sense is the GOPe is salivating for the day when they get a president in place and they can get away with all this s**t. That’s why they’re doing as little as possible to stop Obama. They are in for a rude awakening.

Obviously Krauthammer needs to brush up on Roman law.

"What pleases the prince has the force of law" ("quod principi placuit legis habet vigorem")

"The sovereign is not bound by the laws" ("Princeps legibus solutus est")

Both quotes from Ulpian, 3rd-century jurist.

By elite, I mean they assume that they are our "betters," that they have supreme knowledge on all matters. Their arrogance is only exceeded by the destruction they bring to our Republic.

There are many people on TV who are not elites. Krauthammer is an old fool with a 100% inside the beltway mentality.

And you would have preferred that he endorsed Obama in 2008 and again in 2012?

Didn’t he actually have secret swearing-in ceremonies?

How do we know what oath he took?

We aren’t Romans.

Forty years ago Obama would have been been impeached for this garbage.

Today, not only is congress composed of people with no moral or legal compass whatsoever, the people have written off the government as being beyond redeemable, just another evil to contend with. Republican leaders are as incompetent and corrupt as Obama is lawless and corrupt.

As a result, everyone thinks like you, making us a de-facto monarchy. The people can no longer make a political judgment. They just shrug and go on.

They could change things, but election after election, primary after primary, republicans and democrats vote for the “safe” media-approved “not-crazy” candidate, then go back to sleep excusing any misdeeds with casual indifference.

We sit in front of our TVs being entertained by horrors our great grandparents could not bear to watch because they had to endure them as part of life. To us, evil is a plot line. So bad government keeps going, like a bad reality show, its course run but not canceled yet.
