Obama has to share blame for the reaction to his move. The timing was politically motivated, and his language has been defiant. It's possible he is trying to provoke an overreaction from the right wing. I hope there's a legal challenge soon that clarifies the Constitutionality of what he's done. It looks legal to me, but I don't get to make those decisions. That's the Supreme Court's job. Whatever the legality, I think what he did makes practical sense and is good policy.
