Sorta puts the nauseating cherry on top of the ObamaCare poop sandwich, doesn’t it? From DC Caller:
The Daily Caller has learned the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) never had the authority to issue waivers from Obamacare’s annual limit requirements.
Language granting HHS that power was never in the original law. Instead, through new rules and regulations, HHS gave itself the power last summer using a broad interpretation of certain parts of the law…
Liberals – just making it up as they go along. This is no surprise, at all. Once you understand that liberals don’t know what “law” means you are prepared to see all manner of shennanigans. To a liberal, a law is whatever a liberal wants it to be at the moment…and, so, abortion is found in a constitution which never even so much as mentions “privacy” and “the right of the people to keep and bear arms” means “only the police and army are allowed to have guns”; people who illegally cross the border didn’t break the law, they are just “undocumented”… Trust me on this one, if the liberals decide that wearing purple on every second Tuesday is good, they’ll find the requirement in what they call “law”.
Nancy said we had to pass the bill to see what was in it – a more accurate statement would be “we have to pass the law so we can find what we want in it”. They could have passed a law with 2,000 blank pages and you would have got the same thing…and now that I think of it, has anyone seen the actual bill which was passed? I’m not talking a copy or a summary, but the actual bill, itself? Boehner should go ask Nancy where it is…maybe it is just 2,000 blank pages!
Repeal and replace, that is the only way to go: an absolute requirement, in fact, because if we don’t repeal it then liberals will still continue to find whatever they want in it. Doesn’t do any good to just modify it…if you take away the individual mandate in sub-section C, page 96, paragraph Z.1, they’ll just find it, again, in sub-section D, page 114, paragraph A.5.Z-57.6. Or they’ll get a judge to rule that the “general welfare” statement in the Constitution’s preamble requires ObamaCare to be the law of the land. Repeal and replace…and then seize all copies and burn and bury, just to be sure.
