The article left out some key events:

"After issuing the signing statement, Bush announced the replacement of Harry Reid and installed Joe Lieberman as the new Senate Minority Leader and then he delivered 10,000 traffic cases to the United States Supreme Court and ordered their immediate review."

My point?

The Constitution dictates the powers and duties of the President, not Congress, and not the USSC. Bush was just staking out his territory and reminding 'em of the "way things are". :)

LOL ... does anybody really think that Congress REALLY wants a final judgement on this issue? They will never press it. In the future, Congressmen will point at the law that they have written and blow hot air, Bush and future Presidents will shrug at it and do whatever Commander-in-Chiefs in war have to do, anyway, and the USSC will be happy to sit on the sidelines.
