When will it end? - Updated

"Liberals say the law [Affordable Care Act aka Obamacare] isn't harming jobs or economic growth, but everything this White House does screams the opposite."   

Wall Street Journal Editorial 2-11-14

"I can do whatever I want."  

President Obama 2-10-14

“The biggest problems that we're facing right now have to do with George Bush trying to bring more and more power into the Executive Branch and not go through Congress at all, and that's what I intend to reverse when I'm president of the United States of America.” 
Barrack Obama 3-31-2008

  "But none of that excuses President Obama’s increasingly cavalier approach to picking and choosing how to enforce this law."  [Affordable Care Act aka Obamacare] 
Washington Post Editorial 2-12-14

It can be rightfully argued that the foundation for our successful constitutional government is based upon the separation and balance of powers between the executive, legislative, and judicial branches.  This foundation is currently under attack, leaving me to ask, "When will it end?"

Regardless of one's views, it is unacceptable for one branch of government to supersede and ignore the others.  When the executive branch does so, the threat and damage are enormous, because the executive branch is charged with enforcing our nation's law, so it controls the mechanisms of enforcement.  Be it Nixon or Obama, violating federal laws can not stand.  Arrogance is not governance.  Political rhetoric is not leadership.  And most certainly, unilaterally modifying/changing "black letter law," failing to enforce existing laws, and using the broad federal enforcement mechanism to harass, punish, and leverage those with differing political views for one's own political advantage are so egregious as to warrant immediate corrective action.

So, when will it end?  And how will it be ended?  

It isn't sufficient to remain mute, assuming either the 2014 or 2016 elections will be in and of themselves sufficiently corrective.  The corrosive precedence has been established when the chief executive is permitted to act unchecked, to the great damage of the American people and the nation.  The visible, let alone invisible or currently unknown, actions and in-actions by the chief  executive are undermining and perverting the laws of the land.  (That one of the laws, ACA, is of his own creation clearly underlines the purely arrogant, self-serving political purpose of unilateral unlawful changes.)

This can not stand, so it is time to seriously undertake all forms of corrective action to end this autocratic attempt at governance, up to and including impeachment and removal from office.

"In the ongoing saga of the Affordable Care Act, oddly referred to by Democrats as the law of the land even as it is amended at will by presidential fiat, we are beginning to understand the extent of its war on jobs."

"This is the executive branch affirmatively rewriting law in defiance of our constitutional system and the rule of law."

"The transparent electoral motive that fuels so many of Obama’s executive orders seems unprecedented."

"Manipulating large-scale legislative policies, duly enacted, around election schedules goes beyond the parameters of executive discretion."

"...the established rule is that if Congress explicitly enacts a deadline without including the means by which that deadline may be changed, the president is required to enforce the law as written."

"Do the actual words in our laws still bind the people sworn to execute them? No. Has Obama violated his oath of office? Yes."
