The illegal implementation of Obamacare


The Washington Post reports:
So those interested in the Affordable Care Act and the administrative law should give Nicholas Bagley’s new paper on “Legal Limits and the Implementation of the Affordable Care Act” a careful read. The paper’s still in draft form — and in my view bends over backward to provide the most charitable read of the administration’s actions — but still concludes that the administration has violated the law repeatedly in implementing the ACA, even if not quite as often as some administration critics have claimed.
It would be too bad if a President Cruz shut down the ObamaCare website and suspended the law because he thought the website wasn't secure enough. Who would have standing in court to stop that?
