More on those signing statements...
It's interesting to find out that so many people in this country don't understand the controversy surrounding George Dubya's use of those infamous "signing statements." Many, in fact, have never even heard of signing statements, regardless of what the current president is doing with them. This is disturbing, to say the least. Imagine my relief that those fine people at my alma mater, Georgetown University Law Canter, have published this handy guide that cuts through the rhetoric on both sides and does a balanced analysis of what is at stake.
