"Discretion in enforcing the law" is saying, "Littering isn't as vital a concern to public safety as murder, and therefore we will not put as much manpower onto littering task forces as we do hunting down serial killers". It is NOT "The law says THIS, but fuck it, we're going to do this instead".
Good thing what you're suggesting is not happening here. If the Executive decided to put zero manpower into littering, that would still be a simple act of discretion. If the Congress levies a tax, but the Executive declines to collect said tax, that is a matter of exercising their discretion.
Sorry, Sparkles, but you're wrong all the way around. Simply not enforcing the law at all is NOT "simple discretion". The Constitution says the President's job is to uphold the law, not choose which ones to uphold and which ones to ignore. Discretion is setting priorities and methods, not approving or disapproving. The time for THAT was when he had a chance to veto the law.
And I honestly don't give a flying fuck whether or not you "support" him rewriting laws on the fly to suit himself or not.
Since you cannot honestly address the matter, nothing you say on the matter has any relevance. Nobody has rewritten any law. If you go read the law, you will say that they all still say the exact same thing. Go away and come back when you're ready to start conducting yourself like an adult. Because saying things like
You halfwit drooling leftists
.... is not only the epitome of puerile (in your case I suppose we should call it "puellate") behavior, it is patently false.
Again, sorry, Sparkles, but "honest" is not defined as "agreeing with your worldview". The law very clearly sets out deadlines in actual calendar dates. It does NOT say, "Or, you know, whenever Obama feels like". Therefore, changing those clear calendar deadlines IS "rewriting the law". And speaking of peurile, that whole "He didn't change the law; the words on the paper are still the same" argument is too ridiculous for my five-year-old to come up with. I'm embarrassed for your entire existence on the Earth at this point. If I were you, I would seriously be thinking about suicide right now.
