Congress set to sue the President

You've come a long way baby shouldn't just be the slogan for Virginia Slim's cigarettes, but should now be passed on to Congress. After five years of cowtowing to the President's criminal behavior, Congress seems ready to take back some of the power it has been relinquished since 9/11. Guess that's what happens when your poll numbers fall beneath Nixon--after he was impeached.

Senator Arlen Specter, Republican and former GOP primary candidate for President is leading the fight to pass a bill that would allow Congress to sue the President for signing defacto rules into bills that Congress previously passed.

Hey George, with friends like these...?

But before we all go praising Specter's obviously political maneuver we ask the question, if you were so adamant about this why didn't you support Russ Feingold's Censure resolution? [Only supported by Sens Harkin, Boxer, and Kerry] Why did it take you so long to publicly criticize the President for actions that he had no legal power to enforce? You don't need to be a Supreme Court judge to know that he has absolutely no right to write his own laws into action. And finally why go through the actions of suing him, when it seems pretty obvious that signing statements is against the law, and is a criminal--not civil--offense? Hell, even OJ had to go through a criminal trial before he was civilly sued.

Of course I support any and all non-violent legistation and actions that would bring the downfall of this President, but I'm going to support these actions with my eyes wide open. You, Sen. Specter, are an opportunist of the worse sort. And far getting praise from this blog you get the wave of the finger. After all, no one deserves a reward for kicking a dead horse.
