You are probably right. Boy, the GOP love to flip out whenever the Dems use an EO but then they're using them all of the time, mostly, it seems, to achieve things they might not be able to through the normal legislative process (and should be decided by the voters). The problem is that they (mostly) can technically do these things and have no compunction about taking full advantage of their power when they have it.
