Waiving Freedom

[LibertyLemming]

Among the objections to ObamaCare, one that has not gotten as much attention as it should is the president's power to waive the law for any company, union or other enterprise he chooses.

The 14th Amendment to the Constitution provides for "equal protection of the laws" for all Americans. To have a law that can cost an organization millions of dollars a year either apply or not apply, depending on the whim or political interest of the President of the United States, is to make a mockery of the rule of law.

How secure is any freedom when there is this kind of arbitrary power in the hands of one man?

Poor guy doesn't realize that America hasn't been what it was supposed to be for at least 150 years.

It may have started with the assassination of JFK (if not earlier) and is being continued with The Patriot Act.

I'd say the Civil War at the very latest.

In other words we've been on the right track since.

Not really... quite the opposite I would say. Please God don't reply saying something retarded like I want slavery and women to not be able to vote or something.

That was my first thought, can you educate me on why you believe we got off track at that point?
