Why the President's ObamaCare Maneuver May Backfire - WSJ.com
That's true; BUT, it also explains many implications beyond that.
I think it's worthwhile reading...
David B. Rivkin and Lee A. Casey explain in the Wall Street Journal:
"Mr. Obama, however, has made a habit of exercising an unlawful suspending power, refusing to enforce selected federal laws, including various provisions of the immigration laws against young, undocumented aliens; work requirements enacted as part of the 1996 federal welfare reform law; and the testing accountability provisions of the No Child Left Behind education law. One key problem with suspension power—aside from the fact that it destroys the balance of power between the two political branches—is that, when skillfully exercised, it sidelines the judiciary. The Constitution requires that a party commencing litigation must have what is commonly called 'standing,' i.e., the party must have suffered or will suffer a legal injury that a court can redress."
