If Obama signs the damned thing, and that is a BIG IF, then the first liberal Federal Judge who gets an opportunity to address the EO will rule it unconstitutional. And I would agree with them.
While I am firmly convinced that the law is unconstitutional, it is equally unconstitutional for a President to sign a bill and then issue an executive order nullifying certain provisions in the bill. The Supreme Court has already ruled that a line item veto is unconstitutional. The EO would be an unconstitutional line item veto.
You are absolutely correct.
Bingo! It will be ruled unconstitutional and then what is Stupak going to say then?
