Bart Stupak on Foxnews: "Executive Order Has The Full Force of Law, It Is Just As Good As Having a Law"

This is difficult to watch, he knows what he's saying is not true...

"You're right Megyn, there is nothing that would stop this President from a month from now, a year from now, ten years from now, repealing this executive order"
Megyn Kelly:"There first criticism sir is that they claim this executive order which would clarify things a bit, isn't worth the paper it's printed on and can never trump congressional law"

Stupak
: "Well first of all, it is worth more than the paper it's written on, as court cases and history shows us, executive order has the full force of law, it's just as good as having a law....So in this executive order that we negotiated with the White House, they have unequivocally said there will be no abortions at the community health centers, they will not be paid for and a number of other protections are put in, this is a very good executive order. As soon as the President signs it, which we expect tomorrow, it will have the full force and effect of law"
This promise from President Obama to Bart Stupak will also have an expiration date, and not one single solitary person will be surprised...
