Outrage of the Day: The Signing Statement

Did anyone see this editorial on Bush's "signing statement?" This guy is unbelievable. Worse, Alito thought this up.

The Imperial Presidency at Work - New York Times: "Mr. Bush, however, seems to see no limit to his imperial presidency. First, he issued a constitutionally ludicrous 'signing statement' on the McCain bill. The message: Whatever Congress intended the law to say, he intended to ignore it on the pretext the commander in chief is above the law. That twisted reasoning is what led to the legalized torture policies, not to mention the domestic spying program."
