A Florida orthodontist has taken his case against Barack Obama’s “I’ve got a pen” plan of rule by executive order to a federal appeals court, challenging the president’s multiple and arbitrary changes to the deadlines in the Obamacare law.
“The Obama administration is desperate to keep us out of court, and I am confident that the 11th Circuit will rule that the lawsuit may continue,” said Larry Kawa of Kawa Orthodontics.
“We will stop you, Mr. President – because we are Americans. For those of you who want your country back, it’s on the way – and for the IRS and this corrupt administration so are we, because Congress makes the laws,” he said.
He is represented by the Washington, D.C., watchdog Judicial Watch.
The administration has made dozens of changes to the health care law, many of which appear to be motivated by politics, particularly with the fall mid-term elections in view. The newest change was the subject of reports on Tuesday, when sources told the Hill that the White House will announce as early as this week a new directive that would allow insurers to continue offering health plans that do not meet Obamacare’s minimum requirements.
The move would relieve the pressure on Democrats who face a backlash from constituents whose health insurance policies are subject to being canceled just as the 2014 election approaches.
According to the Hill, the cancellations “would have created a firestorm for Democratic candidates in the last, crucial weeks before election day.”
“The White House is intent on protecting its allies in the Senate, where Democrats face a battle to keep control of the chamber.”
Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton called it “a pivotal case in terms of reining in the Obama administration’s flagrant disdain for the separation of powers and the rule of law.”
“President Obama can’t use his ‘pen’ to rewrite the law as if [he] were a one-man Congress. This lawsuit is the most serious legal challenge to President Obama’s and his administration’s abuses of power,” Fitton said.
