Just a thought here, Robert.  Is Justin really showing a contempt for 
Constitutional authority?  I'm not sure, but it could be a way to force 
Congress to act w/o endless committees and commissions that spend money and 
accomplish nothing useful.  If (the proposed action) is the right thing to 
do, that kind of circumvention doesn't sound so bad.
