Rubin: OCare Lawlessness Charge Sticks

Noting that liberals are joining the chorus complaining of Obama's lawless changes to Obamacare (Wash Post editorial board and Ron Fournier the latest), Jennifer Rubin argues "it would be wise for Democrats, while they still have the Senate, to clear away the president's lawless fiats."

When the press, political partisans and elected officials ignore the abuse of power because it is for a “good cause,” they encourage more and more abuse. The “good for the gander, good for the goose” realization, if nothing else, should convince Dems to rein in the White House. You’d think that simple fidelity to the Constitution would be enough, but at this point the motive is less important than ending the practice. I fear, however, that Obama’s noxious overreach will simply commence a downward spiral of power grabs in which each Congress and president attempts to rig the system its way, citing the other party’s precedent. Maybe, just maybe, if Democrats policed their own president, we’d nip this in the bud.
