A Government Of Men, Not Laws

John Lott asks what is really a very important question about Obama's decision to delay implementation of one part of the health care law:

If Obama can keep making up health care law as he goes, why was it even necessary to pass the law to begin with?

If the Republican Party had any intelligent people running it, they would be preparing ads right now that pointed out that Obama is delaying an obligation that injures corporations, but not delaying the individual mandate, which injures individuals (and generally individuals who aren't rich).   But the Republican Party leadership doesn't seem to have the intelligence of a toaster.
