Uhm...not so much...

WSJ writer Michael McConnell takes the position that President Obama is abusing the power of the Executive by refusing to enforce certain aspects of ObamaCare.  A silly "Patriot" Blogger agrees, and no I won't link the idiot.

He (McConnell and our idiot Blogger) says that "...refusing to enforce laws he doesn't like, and that's an abuse..."

Sorry, folks - you know my position on this administration, and my position on ObamaCare, but let's be intellectually honest here and stay true to the Constitution.

Mr. McConnell cites "Article II, Section 3, of the Constitution states that the president "shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed." 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.

Mr. McConnell and idiots like him are dangerous people when we start talking about what is, and is not, Constitutional.

Mr. McConnell is obviously one of those silly people who think the Constitution gives the responsibility of deciding "Constitutionality" of laws to SCOTUS.  The document says no such thing.

Three equal branches of government, remember your Junior High Civics class?  Each the ultimate authority within it's sphere of responsibility.

If Congress passes a law that the Judicial says in Unconstitutional, yet the Executive agrees with Congress, the Executive may enforce the law, and the Judicial may refuse to entertain any case on the matter.

THAT'S what is meant by "...checks and balances..." when you have three equal branches of Government.  None is superior to the other.  This is how we always, CONSTITUTIONALLY, get back to this statement: The 9 men and women of SCOTUS can no more make your guns legal as they can make them illegal.

Why - because when we read "Article II Section 3" or ANY OTHER PART OF THE CONSTITUTION, we do so with the implicit understanding that ANY "Law" not specifically enumerated is stillborn, it is void, it is NOT A LAW, it is unconstitutional, baseless, groundless, without moral authority - I wish I knew more languages - verboten, finis, nada...you get the point.

Mister McConnell & Idiot Blogger #1: The President has the power to determine the "Constitutionality" of ANY law passed by Congress, and to IGNORE any decision on such laws with which he may disagree, for they are EQUALS.

Get it?

This is Constitution 101, folks.

Fuck ObamaCare - it is NOT Constitutional no matter how many black-robed judges tell us it is, nor is a pig a horse simply because they tell us it is.  We the People are the ultimate arbiters of what is or is not Constitutional.

If you let them take that reality and moral premise from you, we've already lost.
