Sen. Specter readies bill to sue Bush - Yahoo! News

We will believe it when we see it, Arlen.

We don't trust you much anymore.

When all of the nightmarish abuses of power and such came out during the Watergate hearings, it was a few good Republicans, as I recall, who had their priorities straight; Country above party.

Howard Baker is a hero of mine to this day.

They are what saved the Republican party. If the Republicans had all jackbooted off with Nixon, in lock step, standing by their paranoid, drunken man, it could have well been the end of the Republican party for several generations.

The truth is going to out, Arlen. It l always does. It is only a matter of how much hell we wish to put ourselves through before we bite the bullet and seek the truth, with all of our hearts, minds and souls.

The truth will set us free, after all; right after it pisses us off.

Sen. Specter readies bill to sue Bush - Yahoo! News:

WASHINGTON - A powerful Republican committee chairman who has led the fight against President Bush's signing statements said Monday he would have a bill ready by the end of the week allowing Congress to sue him in federal court.

'We will submit legislation to the United States Senate which will...authorize the Congress to undertake judicial review of those signing statements with the view to having the president's acts declared unconstitutional,' Judiciary Committee Chairman Arlen Specter, R-Pa., said on the Senate floor.

Specter's announcement came the same day that an American Bar Association task force concluded that by attaching conditions to legislation, the president has sidestepped his constitutional duty to either sign a bill, veto it, or take no action.

Bush has issued at least 750 signing statements during his presidency, reserving the right to revise, interpret or disregard laws on national security and constitutional grounds.
