1. I won't be holding my breath for these "hearings"
not until we take back congress in November. THEN, and only then, do we have ANY hope of taking any real action.

2. No surprise
Bush** thinks he's above everyone else and proves it by exempting himself from legislation with these signing statements. He's done it over 700 times so far.

3. Signing statements are blatantly unconstitutional
Is there any chance this could be challenged in open court?

I'd pay for seats in that courtroom.
