King George: "In eight years, Ronald Reagan used signing statements to challenge 71 legislative provisions, and Bill Clinton 105.

In five years, President Bush has already challenged up to 500 provisions, according to one tally--far, far more than any predecessor."

"Breathtaking." On one hand, I despise the President's violation of the law. On the other hand, I want to see whether America, as a nation, can weather eight years of this assault to the constitution, this expansion of executive power that was proposed by Samuel Alito himself. Will, in the end, the characters of the Judicial and Legislative Branches ever reassert themselves and declare this improper and illegal?
