The San Francisco Chronicle reports:
President Obama is poised to protect 2,093 square nautical miles of ocean habitat off the coast of Sonoma and Mendocino counties, a move that would more than double the area covered by two national sanctuaries off the West Coast and permanently ban offshore oil drilling there.
The Obama regime gets around the constitution:
The proposed expansion from Bodega Bay north to Point Arena in Mendocino County has been blocked repeatedly by congressional Republicans. The only foolproof way to accomplish it now in the face of a Republican majority in the House of Representatives is for President Obama to proclaim it a protected area by executive order, experts say.
Attention Democrats, how are you going to "feel" when a future Republican President decides to get around laws like Davis-Bacon, Taft-Hartley, Wagner Act, Sherman , Clayton, and others by executive order?
