Pelosi threat to sue Bush over Iraq bill!!!

[Ichingcarpenter]

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is threatening to take President Bush to court if he issues a signing statement as a way of sidestepping a carefully crafted compromise Iraq war spending bill.

Pelosi recently told a group of liberal bloggers, “We can take the president to court” if he issues a signing statement, according to Kid Oakland, a blogger who covered Pelosi’s remarks for the liberal website dailykos.com.

“The president has made excessive use of signing statements and Congress is considering ways to respond to this executive-branch overreaching,” a spokesman for Pelosi, Nadeam Elshami, said. “Whether through the oversight or appropriations process or by enacting new legislation, the Democratic Congress will challenge the president’s non-enforcement of the laws.”

It is a scenario for which few lawmakers have planned. Indicating that he may consider attaching a signing statement to a future supplemental spending measure, Bush last week wrote in his veto message, “This legislation is unconstitutional because it purports to direct the conduct of operations of the war in a way that infringes upon the powers vested in the presidency.”

4. Disappointing is too kind

You notice that she was pandering to the left when she said this?

[jlake]

7. Yes, and that is all she has ever done for the base of the party. At the end of the day

she fills the ink on the rubber stamps.

use it or even discuss it?

8. I place the leadership in contempt of their party

that worked so hard to get them a majority in the house
and a plurality in the senate.


Its a shell game and if you are not paying attention
you won't notice the ropers and shills working the crowds.
