In a 1977 interview with Richard Nixon, David Frost asked:
“Would you say that there are certain situations . . . where the president can decide that it’s in the best interests of the nation . . . and do something illegal?”
Nixon: “Well, when the president does it, that means it is not illegal.”
Frost: “By definition.”
Nixon: “Exactly, exactly.”
Nixon’s claim, although constitutionally grotesque, was less so than the claim implicit in Obama’s actions regarding the ACA. Nixon’s claim was confined to matters of national security or (he said to Frost) “a threat to internal peace and order of significant magnitude.” Obama’s audacity is more spacious; it encompasses a right to disregard any portion of any law pertaining to any subject at any time when the political “environment” is difficult.
somebody was apparently sleeping when the supreme court declared Obamacare Constitutional
Thanks for offering nothing related to the topic, right out of the gate.
George Will: Obama’s unconstitutional steps worse than Nixon’s - The Washington Post
Indeed, Obama does seem to be a bit more 'out of control' than even Nixon of all people. While will is clearly a biased individual, his history of outing the friends of Nixon ads quite a bit of weight to his piece. (In other words, he's done it to both sides, as to him corruption knows no bounds)
In addition to this, in a case about Yucca mountain, a court just found against the administration. The court ruled that a statutory law requiring government to act within a certain amount of time (this case 3 years to respond to permits) can not be ignored. Considering how many things this administration has put off in Obamacare, it seems a court might find the same to be true for all those delays. That would put us in a bad bad spot. Perhaps the lesson for government to learn (if they were capable of learning) would be to quit passing laws that are too big to be put into practice.
If you're going to be mad about something, be mad about habeas corpus. Breaking that is darn unconstitutional.

Good luck with that, you'll need it.i'm mad about ALL the abuses of the constitution.
I keep saying throw the bums out.

i take it you did not receive the response you were hoping for
or were you not conflating Obamacare and lack of Constitutionality
I'm not an Obama fan. But he is doing nothing unConstitutional, in my opinion. If he is??? Then Congress, by not attempting to impeach him, is letting us down.
Please let us see a list.
He's definitely pushing the limits but I've seen no real proof yet... but that doesn't mean it hasn't happened. I think you would really need to be
Constitutional Attorney to know for sure... which of course he is.
It is not inconstitutional to delay the implementation of legislation
