A.B.A. Says Georgie Violated The Constitution

Since he assumed office, Georgie has been adding attachments [or bill-signing statements] to the bills he signs into law. The attachments say Georgie reserves a right to revise, interpret or disregard altogether the laws he signs, on either national security or constitutional grounds. Georgie has issued some 800 of these attachments [all other presidents put together only had 600].

The American Bar Association created a task force to investigate the practice. This task force was composed of a blue-ribbon panel, and included:

* Neal Sonnet - former Miami prosecutor
* William Sessions - former FBI director
* Patricia Wald - former chief judge of US Court of Appeals for District of Columbia
* Mickey Edwards - former Republican representative
* Bruce Fein - former Reagan administration lawyer
* With several other attorneys and law school professors

The task force said Georgie had overstepped his authority and violated the Constitution by signing these attachments. These attachments give the impression that the president will not enforce all laws, but only those with which he agrees. ABA president, Michael Greco, said, "The report raises serious concerns crucial to the survival of our democracy. If left unchecked, the president's practice does grave harm to the seperation of powers doctrine, and the system of checks and balances that have sustained our democracy for more than two centuries."

The report said that President Reagan was first to use the attachments as a "strategic weapon". He was encouraged to do so by an administration lawyer named Samuel Alito, who Georgie put on the Supreme Court.

The ABA said they would decide what action they would take on this matter at their annual meeting in Hawaii next month. I really don't know what there is to decide. If he violated the Constitution, there is only one remedy. HE SHOULD BE IMPEACHED - NOW!
