ABA Speaks on Bush's Use of Signing Statements

A panel formed by the American Bar Association in June has registered its objections to President Bush's use of signing statements to claim the power to disregard those parts of the laws he's signed that he disagrees with. This action by the ABA is reported on in a New York Times article written by Robert Pear. Next month, at its annual meeting, the association will consider a proposal requiring judicial review of signing statements.
