But I think the point we're making right now, and I think what Jonathan Turley certainly recognizes and is that this president in particular has crossed the line. Take a look at Obamacare 38 times now. He's changed the law. The employer mandate was. It's very explicit. It says it shall be mandated after December 31, 2013. President Obama delayed it. Now shall doesn't give you a whole lot of wiggle room, a whole lot of discretion. But this president continues to do that. (09:08–09:19)
