ABA: Bush violating Constitution

http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/07/24/lawyers.bush.ap/index.html
"The ABA group, which includes a one-time FBI director and former federal appeals court judge, said the president has overstepped his authority in attaching challenges to hundreds of new laws."
"The task force said the (signing) statements suggest the president will decline to enforce some laws. Bush has had more than 800 signing statement challenges, compared with about 600 signing statements combined for all other presidents, the group said."

Vox has blogged about signing statements before (see "Another Bush "signing statement"..." from Friday, March 24,2006)

Here's an amusing quote from one of the supporters of the President's use of signing statements:
"I think it's good that the debate is taking place at a public level,".
What public is he talking about? The public's ignorance is the only way this administration can get away with the GWB version of these signing statements.
