New GOP Talking Point: "Obamacare is UNCONSTITUTIONAL b/c he signed it with 20 pens!" |
|
Edited on Tue Mar-23-10 05:42 PM by liberalpragmatist
Wait for the claims that it's unconstitutional because by signing each letter individually with a different letter, it's "not a signature."
Then some sonorous op-ed will appear in the Wall Street Journal about how according to constitutional stipulations, unless the president dots every "i" and crosses every "t" with the same pen and the same stroke, he has not actually signed the legislation.
Then expect some state AG's to sue.
And when some liberal bloggers point out that this is common practice, wait for John Boehner to say that "never before has a bill without bipartisan support been signed into law with 20 pens." And the next Sunday, David Broder will solemnly concur.
UPDATE: Just to be clear, guys: I jest, I jest.
