That doesn't change the validity of your argument, of course, but I would hope it lightens the culpability a bit for the decision which you disfavor.<br /><br />To be fair, the Administration gave as a reason for it's not supporting such an order was because they thought it more appropriate that the issue be addressed in broader and more effective actual legislation, which the administration does in fact wholeheartedly and unambiguously support.<br /><br />I just happened to hear the panelists addressing this very question on the Friday news roundup on the Diane Rehm Show (National Public Radio) yesterday and thought I'd pitch in with the nuance.Trevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03258097334170692217noreply@blogger.com
