Many of the laws congress passes explicitly give the executive branch the job of implementing, which often includes making hundreds of specific decisions about where, when, and how things will happen.
EOs are a valid part of the implementation of laws, and they are also a good way for a President to rein in and reverse the overreaching of executive branch departments under the previous administration.
The idea that executive orders are illegal, unlawful, or unconstitutional is not borne out by any legislative or judicial action.
The double standards I see daily on here are sickening. The problem for Perry is he got into the race when they were all anticipating Palin. This allowed them to fuel their hatred for Perry until their heads were on fire.
The hate has not gone away and will not.
The publishing of the Federal Register is not done by executive order; where did you get that crazy idea?
