| | Executive Orders: A Blueprint for Dictatorship? |
 | | Executive Order 13087 on May 28, 1998, which awarded homosexuals "special protection." The order prohibits federal employers from discriminating based on sexual preference." Clinton maintained that this measure did not create any new enforcement rights but merely "provided uniform policy for the federal government to prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation." | | | Executive Order 13083 was one of the few edicts that evoked public opposition. | | | Now, with the "stroke of the pen," an executive order effectively becomes the "law of the land." While some executive orders are appropriate uses of presidential authority, others violate the Constitution and threaten our civil liberties. |
