So if Bush* accepts the fifty billion Iraq bill from Congress with a signing statement

What will anyone do. All Bush* has to do is place a signing statement saying "Unless the Administration feels constrained" and then go ahead and spend the money however he wishes, gifts to Halliburton and Blackwater or ??? What is Congress going to do about it? They have proved they are incapable of doiung anything to prevent Bush* from totally ignoring the intent of the Bills he signs...Remember "Talk is Cheap and Action Speaks Louder than Words" All we see from Democrats in Congress is lots of talk. Subpoenas get ignored and Congress shrugs.. More signing statements than all other Presidents combined and Congress shrugs...The less Congress does the more Bush* will.

these bills and of course * is too, the Dems are getting smeared by the Repigs lies. Repigs have very short memories cause when they were in the Majority they did nothing but give in to * for everything.

all Bush* signing statements? What has the Majority done about Proper Congressional Subpoenas being ignored and out and out defied. Tell me again what they have done to put an end to it....

But it seems that Representative Conyers is!

November 5,2007

WASHINGTON (AP) -- House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers exhorted the White House Monday to comply with subpoenas of President Bush's key confidants in connection with a probe of U.S. attorney firings.


Rep. Conyers has asked that the White House reply by the end of the week.

In so doing, the Michigan Democrat raised the specter of a House floor vote by Thanksgiving on contempt of Congress citations against chief of staff Joshua Bolten and former legal counsel Harriet Miers.

"As we submit the committee's contempt report to the full House, I am writing one more time to seek to resolve this issue on a cooperative basis," Conyers said in a letter to White House counsel Fred Fielding.

LOS ANGELES - The Democratic congressman who will investigate the Bush administration’s running of the government says there are so many areas of possible wrongdoing, his biggest problem will be deciding which ones to pursue.

There’s the response to Hurricane Katrina, government contracting in Iraq and on homeland security, decision-making at the Environmental Protection Agency and the Food and Drug Administration, and allegations of corporate profiteering, Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., told the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce.


Iraq, Abu Ghraib off the table?
Waxman complained that Republicans, while in power, shut Democrats out of decision-making and abdicated oversight responsibilities, focusing only on maintaining their own power.


In contrast to the many investigations the GOP launched of the Clinton administration, “when Bush came into power there wasn’t a scandal too big for them to ignore,” Waxman said.

Among the issues that should have been investigated but weren’t, Waxman contended, were the Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse scandal, the controversy over the leak of CIA operative Valerie Plame’s name, and the pre-Iraq war use of intelligence.

But Waxman said in an interview that investigating those issues now might not serve any purpose. “It’s obvious the intelligence was wrong and the administration cherry-picked intelligence. ... Those failures are obvious. I don’t know what would be gained by going over some of those areas,” he said.

and the rest of the dems need get behind them whomever it is. we all them too are on the short end of the stick here

so he can claim "do-nothing Congress" in Nov 08

We ought to just refuse to bring anything forth except impeachment and investigations. It's our right, as the majority. Explain clearly that we need a president who respects legislation before we propose any.

the repigs are up to their dirty tricks as usual and smearing the Dems, but the Dems need to stand up and challenge these jerks.

The repigs are happy to go over the cliff with their leader, what jerks. their party is finished.

Perhaps Congress could issue a Press Release saying that they "deplore" Bush's actions.

Or maybe Congress someone from Congress could do an interiew with Katie Couric.

Or maybe they could impeach the bastard.
