A look back at 39%'s Executive Orders
Both EOW and Kuff have good pieces up on 39%'s Executive Orders since he became Governor. The issue, for many, is the legitimacy of the orders themselves (I happen to think that they're, for the most part, thoroughly unconstitutional since the Governor in Texas should be little more than a good looking eunuch). Of course, as EOW points out, Republicans only started complaining about them when they were affected by them.
Of course the most humorous part of all this is how little Republicans and “conservatives” cared about Gov. Perry’s abuse of these orders until it hit them between the eyes. As long as he was using them to screw the teacher’s unions and help big business they didn’t much care.
Giving this kind of power to someone you trust is no better an idea that handing it over to a tyrant. Eventually, they will find a way to use that power to do something you don't like.
