Dr. Hal Scherz, President of D4PC, and Sally Pipes, of the Pacific Research Institute, have teamed together to writing a very informative article about how the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is trying to impermissibly ignore the obvious language of ObamaCare, and therefore the Constitutional prerogatives of Congress, and "rewrite" the law as it sees fit.

The issue arises in the context of ObamaCare's insurance exchanges. As Dr. Scherz and Ms. Turner write: "people can only access billions of dollars in tax credits and subsidies earmarked for the purchase of policies by shopping in the state-run marketplaces. If a state refuses to set up its own exchange, Obamacare allows the federal government to come into the state and set one up. But here's the rub. The text of the law stipulates that only state-based exchanges -- not federally run ones -- may distribute credits and subsidies."

So what is the IRS trying to do?  According to the article: "The Internal Revenue Service recently held a hearing that could have major ramifications for Obamacare's much-ballyhooed insurance exchanges. The agency is trying to change the way the federal government hands out subsidies through the exchanges."

As Scherz and Turner note: "There's one problem, though -- the IRS doesn't have the power to rewrite the law."
