Why is the president ignoring our laws?

July 26, 2006

There is at least one journalist not afraid to stand up and say the right thing in this near-communist era of restricted reporting. Even though I’m normally not a fan, CNN’s Lou Dobbs writes some good articles that point out some of the areas of gravest concern about our government. From the article:

“A bipartisan, 11-member panel of the ABA found that President Bush is not only disregarding laws but using such signing statements far more than any president in history. In fact, Bush has used signing statements to raise constitutional objections to more than 800 provisions in more than 100 laws. All of the presidents combined before 2001 had issued only 600.

The ABA asserts that signing statements cannot be a substitute for a presidential veto and that such an assertion of presidential power amounts to a line-item veto, which the Supreme Court already has ruled unconstitutional.”


A great read, take a look. Hurry, before Lou Dobbs “disappears” or has an “accident.”
