American Bar Association Investigates Bush

The board of governors of the American Bar Association has voted to investigate the constitutionality of the more than 750 "signing statements" Bush & Company tacked onto laws when he signed them. These statements claim that the President has the right to ignore these laws when he sees fit.

Among the laws Bush has challenged are the ban on torturing detainees,
oversight provisions in the USA Patriot Act, and "whistle-blower" protections
for federal employees.

No other president has used this trick so often. This is part of the "Unitary Executive" hokum that the neo-cons are pushing. As for my opinion, it's a sham. What they are trying to foist on us is a defacto dictatorship. Caveat Emptor. The 2006 elections are critical!
