Obama also has promised to limit President Bush's practice of using "signing statements" to amend legislation.

What idiots. A signing statement cannot amend a law. It is merely the president's statement as to his interpretation of the law. A court is perfectly free to consider this interpretation or just ignore it. The statement is essentially meaningless from a legal standpoint.

That pretty much describes "The One" from my point of view until he provides his PROOF..

“legal standpoint”

Legality is what obamarama declares it to be.

EXACTLY. I have cursing, screaming fits when I occasionally take a deep breath and submerge myself into the swamp at DU and they're whining and moaning about Bush subverting the law by his signing statements. Signing statements aren't worth the paper they're (not) written on. God what a bunch of drooling, babbling fools we're forced to tolerate as our countrymen.
