An interesting ploy. In the lawsuit, the issue became whether the department was being forthcoming in their reasons for requesting it.

Now, the President will have his own reasons for doing so, by executive order, and surely as President he is in charge of the commerce department, and can have them put the question in.

And it SHOULD require a NEW lawsuit to be filed, one that claims the President does not have the authority under the law to have his department do this.

Interesting that you used the word “required.” Do you think a lawsuit SHOULD be filed? I’m sure one (or more) will, but I’m wondering if you think the action would be an appropriate use of Presidential power.

How did Obama get the question removed?
