re: #126 Targetpractice

As best I’ve been able to make sense of it, the proposed lawsuit says that the White House does not have the power to grant exemptions, grace periods, or change the rules on how the ACA is implemented and doing so is unconstitutional. Let me say that again, according to Congressional wingnuts, the Executive branch does not have the authority to choose how it will execute the laws passed by Congress.

Now, it’s saying that if Congress says “failure to do ‘X’ carries a tax penalty”, then the president may not waive that penalty. Instead he is obligated to collect the taxes levied by the Congress.
