Let's review.
We've talked before about President Obama's tendency to use an expansive (read: lawless) interpretation of executive powers to avoid Congressional commands. That tendency was highlighted this summer when the courts had to step in and block the Obama Administration's arbitrary and capricious oil drilling moratorium. A few weeks later, a court blocked the Obama Administration's unlawful attempt to end the Yucca Mountain project over Congress' express wishes.
Yesterday, another court blocked the Obama Administration from funding embryonic stem cell research that requires the destruction of human embryos.
This is called a "pattern of practice." It is not good.

Yeah, it used to really burn me up when Bush would invent new powers. Doesn't bother me NEARLY as much any more. Funny how that works, aina?
