Grasping For Straws

You can already tell that conservatives are digging for ways to invalidate any portion of healthcare reform they can, and as quickly as possible.

Allahpundit over at Hot Air pulls a clip from Andrew Breitbart and Naked Emporer News to attempt to illustrate some hypocrisy on Obama's part regarding the Executive Order aimed at proving their would be no federal tax dollars used to subsidize abortions.

...in this clip from Breitbart and Naked Emperor News discusses signing statements and not executive orders, it’s hard not to equate the two.


Actually, it IS hard to equate the two, as there is the absence of context as well as them being completely different beasts. But, let's look at his wrap-up.

More to the point, though, this EO will never have any effect. As a host of actual Constitutional authorities have already made clear, any court challenge will wind up with the government forced to obey the law Congress passed and the President signed for the same reasons Obama states in this clip.


What Allah is leaving out is the very reality that the anti-abortion language was already in the bill that was voted on last night. The EO was simply reinforcing language already present. So, if there is a court challenge over the EO, I'd be very interested to see how those opposed to the EO set up their case.

And if you're brave enough, and don't mind giving them the hits, take a gander at some of the 5000+ comments over at Fox"Nation". While Allah and his droogies at Hot Air at least attempt to have a thin veneer of intellectual integrity to their end of the debate, it's all "end of the world" machinations at the "Nation".
