Obama seeks to violate Constitution via Executive Order

http://pajamasmedia.com/blog/leaked-...-disclose-act/

They lost in court and in Congress and now seek to violate the Court's ruling by Executive fiat, all the while leaving their union buddies free not to disclose anything.

Why shouldn't the Executive branch be allowed to set requirements for contractors as it sees fit? After all, John Galt can simply not bid on the project, Magical Free Market hand and all that.
