Judge Roy Obama: ObamaCare rewritten again

In the underrated Paul Newman western, The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean, an attorney confronts the self-appointed hanging judge with a law in Bean's law book in an attempt to overrule "the Law West of the Pecos."

Bean just simply rips the page with that statute from the book and scoffs, "That's a bad law."

Now we have a president who picks and chooses the laws he obeys, even his signature achievement, ObamaCare.

From the Wall Street Journal:
'ObamaCare" is useful shorthand for the Affordable Care Act not least because the law increasingly means whatever President Obama says it does on any given day. His latest lawless rewrite arrived on Monday as the White House decided to delay the law's employer mandate for another year and in some cases maybe forever.
Obama has declared the US Senate was in session--even though it had adjourned--so he could pack the National Labor Relations Board with leftist radicals. With an executive order, Obama re-wrote immigration law.

Back to ObamaCare: he has issued over 1,000 waivers--metaphorically ripping pages and pages out of that law.
