<golf clap> for Ravenman.
Seriously, Bricker, I doubt you’ll find anyone who’s so far argued in this thread for the legality of Obama’s reporting delay who actually disagrees with Ravenman about the relative legalities of the delays by hypothetical President Romney and his hypothetical successor President Dean.
ETA: To be specific ( 
), I agree completely that in Ravenman’s scenario, Romney’s actions are in good faith and Dean’s are not. While I would be opposed to the hypothetical law, I can’t accept that kind of executive nullification. But my point has been that that’s not at all what Obama’s doing in this case.
