Excerpt
-------------------
Three Republican legislators and a Christian group challenged an executive order barring employment discrimination based on sexual orientation in some state agencies.
The group that filed the challenge in the Arizona Supreme Court argues Democratic Gov. Janet Napolitano overstepped her authority and is legislating through executive order.

"The governor has demonstrated that her style of leadership is not by example, but by legislation," said Rep. John Allen, a Scottsdale Republican and one of three state legislators involved in the suit, filed by the Scottsdale-based Alliance Defense Fund.

Napolitano announced the executive order last month at an event held by the Arizona Human Rights Fund, a gay and lesbian advocacy group.

The order applies only to state agencies under her control. It does not apply to private employers, state universities or state agencies under the control of the Legislature or the courts.

1. Legislating by Executive Order?

That's what the two Bushes do all the time. Why are the Republicans calling foul now?

2. Because the rules they work by...

...suddenly went against them.

Unfortunately Democrats do the same thing. I think it's called hypocrasy.

I can't believe I got a response actually praising the "Great Leader."

BTW, don't forget the downsides of nepotism...next time Franklin Graham comes up...
