Well, if that is the Zero's plan, it sounds pretty weak. Essentially, what he would be doing is saying to his minions, "Hey, I want you to break the law or be negligent in your duties, and oh by the way, this is unofficial and your ass is the one on the line if something bad comes of it."
Only an idiot (and I admit there are many out there) would take him up on that offer.
If not signing anything official was his "plan", then the only purpose in his announcing anything is pandering and stirring up the masses, which is what a community organizer does.
What’s to stop Obama’s funding officials from contracting with a company to manufacture the CARDS? The CARDS are key.
Yesterday it was published that General Dynamics will be getting the contract to manufacture the CARDS. Is GD worried about an EO? No.
Who should be worried about an EO? No one. Why? Because there are already open purchase orders for card manufacturing. Obama’s people need only augment the capacity to handle tens of millions of new CARDS.
There is no court order YET barring Obama’s people from engaging in cranking up the supply of CARDS.
Abbott needs to file against CARD manufacturing above and beyond what Congress has authorized. If he waits for the EO, he may be unaware that he is being tricked and that no EO will be forthcoming while in the background the manufacture of CARDS is getting cranked up to more than 1000%.
