The House of Representatives has voted to repeal the odious Independent Payment Advisory Board.
It should be noted the IPAB has yet to swing into what should be unconstitutional-as-hell operation. The president has not yet even appointed the board,
I say “should be unconstitutional,” because the IPAB allows an appointed committee of “experts” to impose substantive policy on the Congress, even override a president’s veto. It is the quintessential approach to completing the establishment of an unaccountable bureaucratic state.
Alas, if my analysis that the Supreme Court serves the technocracy more than the Constitution is correct — a situation that will become even worse if the only female Democratic presidential candidate is elected — it could well survive SCOTUS scrutiny.
I mean, John Roberts said Obamacare wasn’t a tax so the Supreme Court could rule on its constitutionality, and then ruled that it was a tax so he could declare the law constitutional.
IPAB needs a statutory stake through the heart before it has a chance to rise and sink its fangs into the collective neck.
This won’t be it because of who is president. But some day. Please.
