ABA to review W's signing statements

Blogger has been on the fritz all day. Very annoying. But I'm finally able to post, so on with the news....

The board of governors of the American Bar Association voted unanimously yesterday to investigate whether President Bush has exceeded his constitutional authority in reserving the right to ignore more than 750 laws that have been enacted since he took office.

Meeting in New Orleans, the board of governors for the world's largest association of legal professionals approved the creation of an all-star legal panel with a number of members from both political parties.

They include a former federal appeals court chief judge, a former FBI director, and several prominent scholars -- to evaluate Bush's assertions that he has the power to ignore laws that conflict with his interpretation of the Constitution.

They won't have any authority that I can see, but it's good to know that people are taking Bush's Constitutional trickery very, very seriously. Because all we voters are getting is GAYS! IMMIGRANTS! GAY IMMIGRANTS! Recommended reading for brightening your Monday, courtesy of Mil Apodos.
