From what you wrote, I can only tell you are upset at Pres. Obama doing this by a directive instead of going through Congress. Congressional approval would be almost impossible as we have seen on just about every action proposed by Pres. Obama. If the Senate passes something, the House rejects it and vice versa. Sometimes, the best way is by Executive Order.

Also, as I stated before, I also do not understand what conservatives and a conservative "think tank" like Heritage Foundation have a problem with the Federal government giving more power to the States. I always thought that was one of the things that conservatives wanted. They seem to want less Federal regulation and more power being granted to States. This is what was done.
