Interestingly, as a presidential candidate, Obama eloquently described the blatant unconstitutionality of these signing statements (see sidebar video, about a minute and a half long, and thanks John Richardson, for finding the video). First, he straight up promises not to use presidential signing statements. Then he (quite justifiably) chastised then-President Bush for his profligate use of them. He closed with this:That's today's St. Louis Gun Rights Examiner. Please give it a look, and tell a friend.We're not going to use signing statements as a way of doing an end-run around Congress. Alright?President Obama is now indisputably an oath breaker and liar. Kinda makes one wonder about his veracity here, doesn't it? [More]
Oh, and if you could spare a digg?
Stumble it!
