JULY 13, 2013 4:00 AM Obama’s Rule by Decree The collapse of law is the Obama administration’s most egregious scandal. ByAndrew C. McCarthy Barack Obama has never been clear on the distinction between sovereign and servant, between the American people and those, including himself, elected to do the people’s business. We saw that yet again this week with the president’s unilateral rewrite of the Bataan Death March known as the Affordable Care Act — Obamacare. For this president, laws are not binding expressions of the popular will, but trifling recommendations to be ignored when expedient. The collapse of law — not just Obamacare but law in general — is the Obama administration’s most egregious scandal. With the IRS here, Benghazi there, and Eric Holder’s institutionalized malevolence crowding the middle, it gets little direct attention. Perhaps it is so ubiquitous, so quotidian, that we’ve become inured to it. . . . That is not the rule of law. It is how a dictatorship works. nationalreview/article/353328/obamas-rule-decree-andrew-c-mccarthy/page/0/1?splash=
