I think is is pretty obvious that by illegally changing the provisions of the law unilaterally and by executive decree he has effectively vetoed the law. The Supreme Court has declared that the President cannot use a "line item veto" even if Congress were to give him one.

Obama has declared parts of this law null and void and therefore the government has no authority whatsoever to enforce any other provisions of this law.

The waiver of the business mandate and the attempt to enforce the individual mandate is clearly a violation of the equal protection clause.

In my opinion, the actions of the executive branch on Obamacare have clearly and unequivocally rendered the entire law moot.

There is no longer any "Affordable Care Act." It has been vetoed by the president who signed it. The only thing left are his unconstitutional executive orders.

Impeachment is not the only way but probably the least likely to cause a major uproar.

If “impeachment” it is then get it done and NOW.

Wonderful point.

IIRC, there is a law suit winding it's way through the courts that is challenging the legality of subsidies being provided in states where no state exchange was set up. The law is specific that the subsidies can only be provided to states that set up state exchanges. We can hope that when it comes time for Roberts to vote that he begins to rule on the basis of what the law says.

Personally, I suspect that the obama acolytes were able to blackmail him the 1st time around. Maybe after he's seen how the constitutional republic has been dismantled by these leftists he's ready to say I don't care what they have on me.
