This is from and article in "The American Thinker"

With little consternation or lasting opposition, the Obama administration has dramatically usurped congressional power at the expense of popular will and the rule of law. Numerous dastardly bureaucratic coups -- motivated by the president's progressive and political agenda -- have amazingly failed to engender a serious response.

...

Politically combating this lawlessness is difficult, as a public debate about procedural malfeasance invariably morphs into disputes of the substantive policy itself. Attempts to highlight procedural strong-arming are blurred by political attacks -- "wars" on women, immigrants, the poor, and the like. It may also be said by political strategists that when one argues about procedure, he has already lost the policy debate.

...


Nothing is scarier than what he's doing here. He's openly undermining the Constitution and the rule of law. And given that he's doing this, we gotta ask, will he leave when the time comes? He knows he's loosing and is implementing a scorched Earth policy on the way out.

I find it rather interesting that what you bolded precedes a comment on how Obama's overriding procedure.

Right, he highhandedly changes procedures and his opponents object while the underlying crappy policy keeps rolling along.
