HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius: We've Made "Changes in the Way the Law Was Written," Is All
— Ace

Inadvertent omission. If you ask someone enough questions, eventually they slip up and say something close to the truth.

Asked if the White House had any ideas to fix the law, Sebelius answered:

Â“We have implemented a number of changes in the way the law was written to ease the transition into the marketplace for consumers, insurers and employers.Â”

The White House is usually vague about its authority to make changes, usually claiming some kind of ambiguity in the law that can only be resolved by executive rule-making. (For example, when the law says that the Individual Mandate must take effect by January 1st, 2014, this is "ambiguous," and permits Obama to interpret it as "sometime after the 2016 presidential elections.")

But here Sebelius they've actually changed the way the law is "written."

Thanks to @comradearthur.

Meanwhile... The New Yorker puts on its Political Thinking Cap and decides that the Democrat Party's "pussyfoot[ing]" around on Obamacare didn't work in the case of Alex Sink.

So they now urge the Democrat Party to wrap its arms around Obamacare and give it a big loving bearhug, endorsing it completely and in all details.

I endorse this position. I would like them to do this.

JESUS F. CHRIST.

In other words, you've changed the law. You have taken extra-legislative actions and CHANGED THE LAW, which, by the way, is AGAINST THE LAW.

Where the fa;kldjf;aoieur!! is Karl Urban right now to tell them that HE IS THE LAW?

64 I'm not sure if running against O-Care is the best strategy for the GOP.

I think the people who hate O-Care the most are already Republicans. It's preaching to the choir. Which isn't a bad thing I suppose in a mid-term, since those elections are about getting the base out.

But despite what we all want to believe, O-Care is loved by a lot of people. Millions of people are getting free insurance. And despite all the other shit that's happening because of Obamacare, those millions of people will reward the Dems with votes.

What both parties need to figure out is which group is bigger.

Yes, but those "at the discretion" passages are about the implementation of various aspects of the law, not the law itself.

I don't care if this is a "she misspoke" moment. Fucking CRUCIFY her on it. Sic the dogs on her scrawny ass and make her DEFEND it. Don't let her say, "I misspoke." Tell her to shut her yap unless she's going to own up to performing illegal actions that circumvent her authority. Beat her over the head with her own incompetence and illegitimacy until she begs for the chance to throw Obammy to the wolves.

I am SICK of pussyfooting around.

Big secret!! I found a magical weapon for the GOPe, it's the stuff of legend. It was forged right around the time of the founding of this great nation. The founding fathers referred to it in awe.

They told us that a time like this would come. Where one branch of government would become too powerful and lawless. And that another part of the government, just one part of the branch at that, would have the power to fight back and fight back hard.

They called it: "the power of the purse". If any one area of government gets out of control, you can literally starve that area of govt until it gets back in line.

In reality you never know when you get into a fight if you are going to win it. But you will surely lose if you don't step into THE FUCKING RING.

186 I read the 25th. Congress gets involved if the President says he can and the veep and cabinet says he can't. Section 4. Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President. Thereafter, when the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that no inability exists, he shall resume the powers and duties of his office unless the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive department or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit within four days to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. Thereupon Congress shall decide the issue, assembling within forty-eight hours for that purpose if not in session. If the Congress, within twenty-one days after receipt of the latter written declaration, or, if Congress is not in session, within twenty-one days after Congress is required to assemble, determines by two-thirds vote of both Houses that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall continue to discharge the same as Acting President; otherwise, the President shall resume the powers and duties of his office.

But you're right. Let's do that wild audacious gambit that is 99% doomed to fail because hey, there's a 1% chance we'll get 2/3 of the Senate - a lot of Democrats - to go along with it.

Posted by: Margarita DeVille at March 14, 2014 02:58 PM (dfYL9)

It has been implemented? All of the delays tell me that it isn't being implemented - and each new problem that erupts (and in 2,000+ pages of legislation there are a lot of eruptions) calls for more delays. This thing is becoming un-implementable and I think it is going to end up in perpetual delay until Obama is out of office and it can be substantially killed.

This was the Democrats' big goal and it turned out to be a fiasco, a bridge too far and they are paying for it.

This flagrant repudiation of the rule of law at the top will ripple in all directions everywhere--and with reason. Why should any citizen be a good citizen when the law is ignored by those charged with making and implementing them?

I was an adult when the Soviet Union fell apart. It didn't fall apart because people took up pitchforks and faced down the Red Army. It fell apart because the vast majority of the people no longer believed in the system and stopped pretending they did.

Yeats seems appropriate:

"Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world..."

I don't think President Obama and his clown car full of advisors realize what they've done.

Then it is still a five star Charlie Foxtrot because the implementation isn't doing enough to reassure people that single payer is the next appropriate step to take, instead it is outraging them, and outraging people who do not get outraged at politicians is not a wise gambit.* It will become/has already become so convoluted the full delay of the law and the regulations is going to happen and then it will be killed. I know, a prediction, but that is the one I have.

*The Horde is much different from ordinary people. We're fanatics for this sort of stuff, we're the type that goes to the game in 20 degree weather only wearing body paint and a polyester wig. We're on perpetual outrage - just read the comments and thank you for patronizing the Outlet - and ordinary people don't often get much beyond mildly annoyed. They're getting pissed now and they are going to stay pissed. That is the rare thing.

427 I'm fucking ashamed that the party didn't send the fat doughy fuck to the Cornfield after 2008. Posted by: MWR, Proud Tea(rrorist) Party Bossy Assault Hobbit at March 14, 2014 02:15 PM (4df7R) They're sending out emails in the fat doughy fuck's name asking me for money. Needless to say I'm responding, but not with money.

429 376 --- True, if you're talking about the specifics of the Obamacare bill --- which hardly anyone read anyway. What I'm saying is that the ESSENCE of the bill is that the federal executive henceforth has the power to regulate and distribute healthcare for everyone in the US. Obviously the silly program they slapped together can't work, but the power to rearrange and control things is being fully established.

Sherry?

In a just world, he would have a broken orange crayon and be eating library paste.

He's already a braying jackass- maybe that will do, for now....

433 If anyone had cared at all about Sibelius' competence, she would have been shitcanned after that monumental screw up with the website. Why shouldn't the republicans let her get away with half-baked answers? If they hold her accountable the liberal journalists will say they're mean and they don't have the balls to stand up to it.

No. With climate change out of control, all weather is now bad.

436 JOHN KERRY: We hope President Putin will recognize that none of what weÂ’re saying is meant as a threat, itÂ’s not meant in a personal way. Â…. Posted by: RWC at March 14, 2014 02:41 PM (fWAjv) Is that a joke, or did he really say that? If he did, maybe the CIA needs to check and see if he still has his balls.

What's your angle?

About 60 degrees. Why?

438 JOHN KERRY: We hope President Putin will recognize that none of what weÂ’re saying is meant as a threat, itÂ’s not meant in a personal way. It is meant as a matter of respect for the international, multilateral structure that we have lived by since World War II, and for the standards of behavior about annexation, about succession, about independence, and how countries come about it.

I go shoot whale now." -Vlad Posted by: MWR, Proud Tea(rrorist) Party Bossy Assault Hobbit at March 14, 2014 02:42 PM (4df7R) Husband and I watched Kerry's botoxed face deliver this long winded review of his meeting. When he first began speaking-I"m not joking-he reached up with his right hand index finger and picked his nose. If you can stomach it, watch the first two minutes of Kerry's speech given at noon today. I cannot believe we have such people as representatives.

440 I swear that the White House wants, desperately, to have the President impeached by the House.

The House Republicans already got fooled by the Â“banana in the tailpipeÂ” with Bill ClintonÂ’s impeachment, wants to avoid it, but they can have lots of fun putting Democrats in embarrassing situations that will pay off some 5, 10, 15 or 20 years from now.
