I just recalled that Clinton wrote EOs for everything. In fact, he wrote so many that one of his pimps (forget his name there were so many) said: Stroke or the pen, law of the land. Remember that?
I didn't care much about politics when Clinton was around, so I don't know much about his use of Executive Orders, or Executive Orders at all for that matter. My guess is that the judiciary and media tolerated it because they agreed with Clinton, but now since they don't agree with Bush they will probably react differently.
I believe that was Paul Begala, "The Forehead," who said that notable quote.
Clinton even pardoned a pedophile.
