Once again, Congress can stop all of this fiat rule by EOs if they have the will.
If Congress doesn't stop this EO they're just as culpable as the administration for not doing their job of protecting everybody's individual rights.

But they don’t have the will. Congress has become the punchline of a bad knock-knock joke.

Yeah, the liberal-controlled Senate is going to vote against Obama.

Wake up.

Sounds as if Congress has a pretty steep hill to shut off an EO.

Then again, when someone pushes this to the Supremes, they DO HAVE authority to stop an EO. “The Supreme Court can also declare an executive order to be unconstitutional”. Does anyone doubt this EO will be contested in the Courts?

Just like nobama’s warning about stopping SS, this EO is very likely either a diversion or a negotiating ploy.
