Obama seeks another congressional end around in an effort to intimidate free speech. Picture how this White House might make spending decisions after culling a list of political contributions made by contractors which exists by executive order? You’d be cowed into withholding donations knowing it might affect your business.
"The White House cannot arbitrarily amend federal contractor requirements without a vote in Congress. This is an end-run around the constitutional process, with the Obama Administration once again attempting to implement administratively what it cannot achieve legislatively," Wilson declared.
…
Wilson added, "It’s nothing more than a cynical gag order issued by executive decree with no basis in the duly enacted laws of the land. As part of the contract-awarding process, the White House wants to know who is giving to whom and will surely make decisions based on that knowledge."
Business as usual for the Obama machine.
