I love the Peanuts<\/a> cartoon. If you read the cartoon, you know that Snoopy<\/a> is perpetually writing a novel. Many of his novels begin with “It was a dark and stormy night<\/a>…” That is what the latest episode of the ObamaCare<\/a> saga reminds me of.<\/p>\n

National Review<\/a> is reporting today that over the weekend, without telling anyone, in the dark of night, the Obama Administration has moved the deadline to sign up for ObamaCare.<\/p>\n

The article cites a Washington Post<\/a> story as its source:<\/p>\n

Sources told the\u00a0Post\u00a0<\/em>that the 24-hour extension has been built into the online system and is intended as a precaution in the event that the the problem-plagued website sees a surge of traffic from individuals looking to sign up at the last minute, and buckles under the weight.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The extension, said the sources, cannot\u00a0be overridden by insurance companies<\/a> if they object to it. It is\u00a0the latest of several last-minute, ad hoc rule changes issued by the administration, including last week\u2019s announcement<\/a> that individuals whose insurance plans were canceled\u00a0may receive an exemption from the Affordable Care Act\u2019s individual mandate<\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Please note that none of these changes are being sent through Congress<\/a> and they are simply decided on by the Obama Administration. What happened to the legal process of passing and amending a law? Where is the Constitution<\/a> in this? Why isn’t Congress complaining about being left out of a large part of the implementation of this law?<\/p>\n

Have we entered a period in our history when laws are changed in the dead of night without anyone other than the Administration having any input?<\/p>\n
