Nope, you are condemning an action, (by a President you despise) prematurely.
The sham of the pro forma session has never been constitutionally tested. Here's a parallel for you - a Republican issuing an Emancipation Proclamation. Find that distastefully unconstitutional too?

My description of strong, reasonable Presidential action stands.

But hey, as you put it, you can always "knock yourself out" contributing funds or otherwise supporting an effort to sue and try to get the action overturned if you want.
