And it may well be necessary, which could force our lefty friends to choose between Obama and the ACLU:
That means that President Obama will, if necessary, issue an executive order that would void any court decision to release these photos. The Second Circuit court that had ordered the release of the photos has since ordered a stay at the request of the Obama administration, but the case has not been tossed out and the administration will have to contest the issue in court. A senior Democratic aide tells THE WEEKLY STANDARD that although the bills sponsors are pleased “the President indicated that he will prevent release of the photos – however, we still need a commitment from the Senate leadership that there will be a vote on our bill – only a law can ultimately guarantee that the photos are not released.” Without that then, the fight will go on.
