But, but, new laws can't be created through EO.

This is what I have been expecting. The admin has no respect for the constitution, or the legislative process. "Never let a good crisis go to waste" is their mantra.

These executive orders ought to be interesting. I'm sure no matter how onerous or constitutionally dubious they are, they'll be heralded as common sense and reasonable by the usual characters.

But they can use things like the "sporting definition" that they apply to IMPORTED guns to limit many of the imports. Than CAN be done by EO and by administrative action inside the BATFE.

If BO can attack another sovereign nation "Libya" without the approval of congress then what is to stop him here?................................................................perhaps "shall not be infringed"

See how important Supreme Court judges can be? He has 4 more years to replace judges and once he gets the court he wants who can stop him? The fate of the entire nation in the hands of so few people.
