Divine Right of Kings returns

In other "we don' need no steenkin' constitution" news...
Democrats too may acquiesce in Mr. Obama's action, as they have his other aggressive assertions of executive power. Yet what will they say when a Republican president decides that the tax rate on capital gains is a drag on economic growth and instructs the IRS not to enforce it?

And what of immigration reform? Why bother debating the details of a compromise if future presidents will feel free to disregard those parts of the statute that they don't like?
Cherrypicking the law... the scariest artifact of the Emperor Barack I administration.

FROM THE COMMENTS:
"Well, I guess Obama has gotten what no other POTUS in history has been able to get... a line item veto."
Indeed.
