Bush issues another signing statement. Here's how it went:
Bush says the law is a "good law." Bush signs the law. Bush includes a signing statement indicating that any parts of the law that he doesn't like he can and will ignore at his discretion. Wonderful, no?
I'll let CarpetBagger do the rest:
I don't mean to belabor the point, but this really is breathtaking. The bill mandates a certain procedure, Bush signs the bill into law, and then says he'll ignore the procedure. There are a few phrases that come to mind to describe this scenario, but "American system of government" isn't one of them.
Conservatives are supposed to abhor unchecked authority, not create it. What is wrong with these people?
