Obama has certainly set the precedent for executive fiat Actually it was set by Sebelius long before ! Just an appointed bureaucrat has that extraordinary power now as will during the next presidency.

Even if Romney wins, I doubt that the Republicans will win control of the Senate this year. This abomination of a law is here to stay. It's difficult to repeal such broad spectrum legislation, especially one that is loaded with tons of new taxes for a bankrupt country.

Obama has certainly set the precedent for executive fiat. Trouble is, a fiat handed down by a leftist progressive either doesn't make its way into the mainstream news or is touted as an executive inevitability because of the obstructionist republicans. If and when Romney has the opportunity to rule by fiat, fiat rule will be deemed an abuse of power. All one needs to do is look at Watergate vs. Fast and Furious. One was a blatant abuse of power and the other is an unsubstantiated witch hunt.
