Are liberals ready to have Obama, Holder's executive order assertions turned on them?

[Grummgug]

1. Obama used an executive order to delay the implementation of the employer mandate in Obamacare.
2. Executive orders are used to instruct departments on how to implement law, but they cannot write new law.
3. There is NO provision in Obamacare allowing for the employer mandate to be delayed.
4. This means Obama has written new law using executive orders.
5. Tom Harkin, democrat Chair of the Senate health committee, was outraged at Obama for the executive order:

http://www.nytimes.com/2013/07/10/us...-law.html?_r=0

Some Democrats were also dismayed by the White House’s actions. Senator Tom Harkin of Iowa, the chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee and an author of the health law, questioned whether Mr. Obama had the authority to unilaterally delay the employer mandate.

“This was the law. How can they change the law?” he asked.

6. Michael McConnell, a judge who was so impressed with Obama that he gave Obama a fellowship to come to Chicago's School of Law about 20-30 years ago, wrote a scathing article about this in the Wall Street Journal titled:

Michael McConnell: Obama Suspends the Law
Like King James II, the president decides not to enforce laws he doesn't like. That's an abuse of power.

specifically, Article II, Section 3, of the Constitution states that the president “shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed,” and McConnell emphasizes that “this is a duty, not a discretionary power. While the president does have substantial discretion about how to enforce a law, he has no discretion about whether to do so.”

According to McConnell, a former federal judge, although the president may refuse to enforce laws he believes are unconstitutional, the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel (which provides opinions to the president on such issues) “has always insisted that the president has no authority, as one such memo put it in 1990, to ‘refuse to enforce a statute he opposes for policy reasons.’”

In support of the legality of his most recent suspension of the regulations, the president claims “enforcement discretion.” But like his unilateral executive decision to delay the employer mandate, the start-date for the new insurance plans for individuals is defined in the statute – January 1, 2014 – and should not be subject to partisan political expediency.

In his article, McConnell offered additional examples of the president’s inclination to arbitrarily, unilaterally ignore the Constitutional prerogatives of the legislative branch of our government:

“In June of last year, for example, the administration stopped initiating deportation proceedings against some 800,000 illegal immigrants who came to the U.S. before age 16, lived here at least five years, and met a variety of other criteria. This was after Congress refused to enact the Dream Act, which would have allowed these individuals to stay in accordance with these conditions. Earlier in 2012, the president effectively replaced congressional requirements governing state compliance under the No Child Left Behind Act with new ones crafted by his administration.”

The president and his minions have not only violated the Constitution by declining to implement certain duly enacted laws at all, and by arbitrarily distorting congressional mandates as in the examples above, but they have also interfered inappropriately with the enforcement of various federal laws. This was the lede of a June 13 article in the New York Times, for example:

“When President Obama proclaimed that those who commit sexual assault in the military should be ‘prosecuted, stripped of their positions, court-martialed, fired, dishonorably discharged,’ it had an effect he did not intend: muddying legal cases across the country. In at least a dozen sexual assault cases since the president’s remarks at the White House in May, judges and defense lawyers have said that Mr. Obama’s words as commander in chief amounted to ‘unlawful command influence,’ tainting trials as a result. Military law experts said that those cases were only the beginning and that the president’s remarks were certain to complicate almost all prosecutions for sexual assault.”

The Times cited a number of cases that have been dismissed or otherwise tainted by the president’s imprudent remarks.

7. When Attorney General Holder was questioned about this illegal practice, we got this:

http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Governm...cutive-Actions
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tvs_...ature=youtu.be

6:19 into the video: Senator Lee specifically asks AG Holder which of the 3 categories of executive orders does Obama's executive order to delay the employer mandate fall under. Holder just fumbles around and avoids the question. Wow. That's something he should know! The reason he says that is because the executive order is illegal and he wants to avoid the question to protect Obama!

#############

So, Obama has wrecked executive order law. Democrats has NO QUALMS about this.

So here is my question. Someday, there will be another republican president. Are democrats ready to accept a republican president wielding this new executive order to write law? I'm sure we'll the lame arguments like the employer mandate was "magically different" and thus doesn't apply when a republican president privatizes social security via executive order. Or when a republican president issues an executive order suspending all of Obamacare, not just the employer mandate, until 2050.

Somehow, I don't think the democrats quite understand the pandora's box they've opened.

[Captain N]

I like that if you scroll down to the bottom of your sources it says "Our Partners" and lists 3 different Fox News sites.

[Independent voter]

These executive orders might not be overturned. My guess is the new pres will look at them case by case. Most presidents pass executive orders.

[Low Hanging Fruit]

Let me get the whole logic of this out:



Obama do it bad. We told you so.

or..

Obama not do it bad. We told you so.

or..

Obama did what we wanted but it bad. We told you so.

or..





I think that clears it all up.

[Captain N]

Does that negate the validity of the poster/article's claims?

Absolutely. The same as you and your fellow Conservatives do when someone uses the Huffington Post as "proof" that some Right Winger has committed horrible atrocities.

[klmg8]

Absolutely. The same as you and your fellow Conservatives do when someone uses the Huffington Post as "proof" that some Right Winger has committed horrible atrocities.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_fallacy

The genetic fallacy, also known as fallacy of origins, fallacy of virtue,[1] is a fallacy of irrelevance where a conclusion is suggested based solely on something or someone's origin rather than its current meaning or context. This overlooks any difference to be found in the present situation, typically transferring the positive or negative esteem from the earlier context.

The fallacy therefore fails to assess the claim on its merit. The first criterion of a good argument is that the premises must have bearing on the truth or falsity of the claim in question.[2] Genetic accounts of an issue may be true, and they may help illuminate the reasons why the issue has assumed its present form, but they are irrelevant to its merits.[3]

According to the Oxford Companion to Philosophy (1995), the term originated in Morris Raphael Cohen and Ernest Nagel's book Logic and Scientific Method[4] (1934).

[Rukentuts]

So prove the fallacy, and link something else.

Absolutely. The same as you and your fellow Conservatives do when someone uses the Huffington Post as "proof" that some Right Winger has committed horrible atrocities.

Huffington Post never had to defend their right to lie in court.

[Captain N]

So prove the fallacy, and link something else.

I'm going to bet neither one of them can. The link from the NY Times is from 2013 and the Fox News partner "BreitBart" is from February 2014. This is likely old news that someone scraped off the bottom of the barrel not realizing it was likely debunked already.

[Kanariya]

Does that negate the validity of the poster/article's claims?

Yes, it does.

Huffington Post never had to defend their right to lie in court.

Bingo.

[Wells]

Next time could you just link to where you copy paste from?

[GodlyBob]

The next step is clearly signing an order that declares all owners of a firearm to be a homosexual, thus effectively ending our once proud country. He delayed a portion of a law that his opposition had attempted to repeal 50-odd times. He probably shouldn't have done, I don't know why he would do it, but it just feels like j-walking to me. Does it really matter?

[Wells]

Can you guys refresh my memory on the whole "lie in court" thing? If I recall, it wasn't Fox News but an affiliate and I also think you're using some bias in defining their arguments as "lies." Then again, you're defending a President who follows, ignores and changes laws at will, assassinates citizens, is universally considered weak and the biggest hypocrite to equality in decades. So I'm not that suprised at the mental gymnastics you'll continue to use to prevent yourself from realized all your attacks against Bush equally apply to Obama and then some.

Well this question totally seems like it was asked in good faith.

[Puremallace]

really you want to go there???
