Should we start molding Bart Stupak's "Profile In Courage" award now? Or should we wait until the President signs a later executive order over-riding the EO that bought Stupak's vote?
Of course, we may not even need a 2nd EO, since Roe and precedent require that the federal government cannot deny funding for abortions in federal programs , except through legislative mandate. (Hence the necessity of the Hyde Amendment.)
So really, Obama's executive order will most likely be quickly thrown out by the courts.
I wonder if Stupak knows that and just doesn't care, or if he's just really naive?
