Obama has created a new paradigm where the POTUS decides which federal laws are to enforced and which are not.

Do you think fedgov should start enforcing the Prescription Drug Marketing Act of 1987?

Tell ya what,
Lets look ahead ~ 25 years from then to today,

Recall how GWB passed his tax cuts using budget reconciliation causing it to expire at the end of 2012, because he couldn't get 60 in Senate ??
(McCain naturally voted against it)

Obama has shown the way.

A GOP POTUS can announce that the IRS will only will enforce taxes that he approves of, and order the IRS to post whatever tax policy he wants, ignoring the law and congress.

Before Obama no POTUS ever considered such a power grab but the genie is out of the box.

Your question is obviously a good one, but another question to go with it is:

What part of the US Constitution authorized the federal government to meddle in State police functions.

I really want the feds put back in that tiny little constitutional box.
