1. Well, Congress, you have the power to do something about it.

Stop whining and get going.

2. Vexing Congress? That's the best they can say about it? VEXING?

Try Bypassing, Ignoring, deeming worthless, etc etc. Oh and btw MSM, Bill Signing Statements=Line Item Veto or in other words, UnConstitutional.

3. Why? Because Specter had an "Official Hearing" today.

The Judiciary Committee held an official hearing today on the topic of Presidential Signing Statements. Unfortunately, this "Official Hearing" was in name only.

After watching the whole thing, it was a farce as far as I'm concerned. But, hey! At least Specter can say he had a hearing! :woohoo:
