No, becauae I'm not an idiot.Mephisto said:So, you don't think signing statements as they are used by the Bush administration have made Congress irrelevant?
Once again, you're being a dishonest jackass.Oh yeah, I forgot, I'm talking to a guy who thinks that the population of an invaded country doesn't have the right to rise in opposition to their occupation.
Once again you completely ignorte the point to launch into one of your ideological rants.Who knows? Maybe they have found a conscience, maybe they're trying to fool the world into believing that Americans don't advocate torture, or secret prisons. Maybe they want to continue belief in an old tradition that dictated that Americans have a right to due process of law, a right to privacy and a government by and for the people.
Do you have any cites which do NOT amount to merely links to other people that also make this claim? IOW, do you actually have any evidence that this is true?Mephisto said:" . . . Such statements - issued when presidents sign bills into law - are a long White House tradition. Bush has produced a record total - more than 750 of them - that lay out his interpretation of the new law to Congress, the courts, and the public."
Considering your complete lack of honesty in the past, I think that it is reasonable to think that, once again, you're a lying piece of s---.
That's just plain stupid.The upshot? It is as if no law had been passed on the matter at all.
Rather hypocritical, seeing as how gun confiscation and anti-semitism are liberal platforms.Round up our guns? Have us all wear gold stars on our clothing or tattoo our bodies for easier identification?
