Obama Can't Delay the Mandate

If the president can just arbitrarily decide to change a law or make a law without regard for the legislature, then do we have separation of powers?  When Obama tries to get a law passed that he supports, but uses regulations to go around the will of congress, is he not just another dictator?  Obama is a constitutional law professor.  He has studied the constitution for the express purpose of circumventing it.  Is this not what we all love about lawyers?  They are always trying to twist the laws and use them to win?  So Obama and the communists win, but we, the not-so-free-anymore Americans, lose.

It's time for the Republicans to stand up and say it for everyone to hear.  The Patient Protection Affordable Care Act language says that the employer mandate shall take effect on a particular date, I believe it is 1/1/2014 or 12/31/2013.  It doesn't say that it shall take effect unless Obama decides that date is inconvenient for the Democrats running for re-election in the 2014 mid-term elections.

I know that the Republicans are all torn up about this.  They hate Obamacare and don't want it implemented at the end of this year or any year.  It goes against every fiber of their beings to make it go into effect this year instead of delaying it.  I get it.  They apparently don't get it.  Once again, the Democrats are beating the Republicans at the game of politics.  The Republicans can still win, but they need to start playing hardball today.  Rhetoric is great, but I want results.  I want this Obamacare MessAPolitico stopped before it begins.  If it isn't stopped now, entitlements are very difficult to ever get repealed.

So what should the Republicans do?  They absolutely must file suit immediately to force the president to abide by the letter of the law that was passed as it was passed and signed into law by Barack Hussein Obama.  They should offer to repeal the entire law before the end of the year if Obama and the Democrats have changed their collective minds.  They should offer to work with the Democrats to produce a series of health care reform laws that improve health care access for those that don't have it.  These bills should be small, understandable, and meaningful.

If the president and the senate decide to leave the PPACA in tact as it is, then why delay the pain one year.  Put it into effect as written in the law.  If unemployment and underemployment rise next year, blame it on the PPACA and the Democrats that passed it.  Win super majorities in both the House and the Senate.  Then it can be repealed.  That is the will of a majority of Americans.
