It’s even worse than that. Suppose the legal challenges are appealed all the way to the Supreme Court. Then you have a conservative Supreme Court stuck in an untenable position—either they uphold the law and strike down the EO as un-Constitutional, thus ensuring that Federal money for abortions flows freely (and being seen as Judases by the anti-abortion wing of the GOP)...or they uphold the EO, fly in the face of the Constitution, please the anti-abortion advocates, and infuriate strict constructionists. Either way, the Republicans turn on themselves.
Diabolically brilliant move by Obama and his cronies.
