Looks like Specter is bringing forth a bill that will allow Congress to sue Bush to declare his signing statements -- which Bush has used to sidestep bills he signs into law if he thinks it's appropriate -- unconstitutional. Bush has used the signing statement more than any other president; in fact, he's used it more than all other presidents combined.
Yet more evidence that Bush has lost the support of those who once walked lockstep with everything he said and did -- or that Republican members of Congress fear for their jobs and know they can no longer align themselves with Bush if they want to succeed. I suspect Bush will have a pretty relaxing fall -- there's not too many places where his presence on the campaign trail would be likely to help a candidate.
Good to see that some Republicans still believe in preserving our system of government.
