News Item: President Bush signs 2008 Defense Authorization Act.

News Item: President Bush adds signing statement to the act saying he can ignore a provision establishing an independent commission to investigate fraud in military contracts.

Or are you one of those people who want to undermine our war profiteers?

1. Don't you wish that your signature was a get out of jail free card

Bush just told everyone to "go get bent" on behalf of the warlords. If there is no outcry over this then we have been betrayed by them all.

2. No provision was made in the Constitution for signing statements.

Nor is there one in any of the amendments. Making laws is the job of the Congress, ignoring them is not the sole option of any pResident.

Did a single one of the MoFo's in the maladministration ever read the Constitution? It's not long, pretty damn well written and it's in plain English. Oh, never mind, 3 for 3. If you want a Republic to pay attention to anything, it's got to be long and hard and in a language other than English. They don't want it coming back to testify against them later.
