How long is it going to take?

How long is it going to take before somebody in Washington wakes up and realizes our government has been stolen? We learn from Josh Marshall today that Bush has once again issued a "presidential signing statement" declaring that a law he is signing into being is not binding. Meanwhile, Congress lies back and snoozes.

Via Andrew Sullivan, the Globe reports another presidential 'signing statement.' In this one the president claims that the oversight provisions in the recently passed Patriot Act are not in fact binding.

There's really no overstating the importance of the president's disrespect for and serial violations of the law he has sworn twice to uphold.
