history in the making

Sen. Arlen Spector is working on legislation this week that would permit the U.S. Congress to challenge the President on the issue of 'signings', the practice that the sitting President has put into place to interpret laws as he see's fit at the time he signs them into law.

This is the one to watch, it may be the most significant piece of legislation to come up in the past 30 years. Watch the news, watch the websites of your representatives and those of the House and Senate, to see who votes for or against this bill.

more as I read about it.


update 1:

well, it is the end of the week, and nothing more has been said in the popular media. I hope that this issue just doesn't simply disappear, (as some inside the beltway do...)


update 2: (Aug 1, 2006)

well, it has been over a week now, I am thinking that Sen. Specter has been 'educated' in the error of his ways, and that we shall see or hear of this no more.....

update 3: (Aug 11, 2006)

well, still not a word from the good Senators office. I suspect that the party offices have convinced him of the error of his ways.

that seems to be the way it works in the 21st century.
