It's amazing how the Liberals change positions as soon as it's a Democrat in Office.

Pelosi threat to sue Bush over Iraq bill | TheHill

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is threatening to take President Bush to court if he issues a signing statement as a way of sidestepping a carefully crafted compromise Iraq war spending bill.

Pelosi recently told a group of liberal bloggers, “We can take the president to court” if he issues a signing statement, according to Kid Oakland, a blogger who covered Pelosi’s remarks for the liberal website dailykos.com.

“The president has made excessive use of signing statements and Congress is considering ways to respond to this executive-branch overreaching,” a spokesman for Pelosi, Nadeam Elshami, said. “Whether through the oversight or appropriations process or by enacting new legislation, the Democratic Congress will challenge the president’s non-enforcement of the laws.”

It is a scenario for which few lawmakers have planned. Indicating that he may consider attaching a signing statement to a future supplemental spending measure, Bush last week wrote in his veto message, “This legislation is unconstitutional because it purports to direct the conduct of operations of the war in a way that infringes upon the powers vested in the presidency.”

April 28, 2006


Members of the House of Representatives have filed a lawsuit against President Bush to block the implementation of the Deficit Reduction Act. Congressional members claim that the bill as it was signed was never passed in the House. Namely, the version that was passed in the House provided for 36 months of durable medical equipment funding, whereas the version that the President signed, and which was passed in the Senate, provides for only 13 months of such funding. The basis for the suit is the allegation that President Bush violated constitutionally mandated lawmaking procedure. The Congressional members bringing the suit are: Rep. John Conyers (MI), Rep. George Miller (CA), Rep. John Dingell (MI), Rep. Charles Rangel (NY), Rep. James Oberstar (MN), Rep. Barney Frank (MA), Rep. Collin Peterson (MN), Rep. Bennie Thompson (MS), Rep. Louise Slaughter (NY), Rep. Fortney Pete Stark (CA), and Rep. Sherrod Brown (OH). Representing the legislators in the suit is Duke Law School's Professor Erwin Chemerinsky.

So you're claiming you agreed with Pelosi at the time?

And then the far left swoops in and proves that the far left will ignore anything before 2009 using far left blog sites like the LATimes.

Proof that the far left is incapable of admitting that they support someone worse than Bush.

And then the far left swoops in and proves that the far left will ignore anything before 2009 using far left blog sites like the LATimes.

And a Rabid Rightie prove he will not read.

"Individual members of Congress have sued presidents before. A special House panel has also represented the body in other lawsuits, most recently before the Supreme Court on the Defense of Marriage Act. The House or a House committee can sue an executive agency or White House officials to seek documents or testimony, since the House has an independent authority to investigate.

But Rep. G.K. Butterfield (D-N.C.), a former judge, said the latest suit introduced a host of new legal questions. “Do you really want to cede to the courts the authority to resolve disputes between the branches?” he asked. “Would you want the president to sue the House for missing a budget deadline? How would it end?”

Legal experts note that the Supreme Court has previously refused to get involved in political spats between Congress and the president, and for that reason the House lawsuit is expected to fail.

And the far left will call anyone that does not believe in the far left religion a "Rabid Rightie".

It is a far left blog site, you might has well used rawstory, motherjones, daily kos, huffington post.

And the far left proves that will believe their religious scriptures and propaganda without question or hesitation.

Exactly... Proof that memories are short.. I have to wonder why the Media hasn't brought this up?

I'm about to make a thread that will blow some minds, just you wait and see.

Your going to go to Canada and reprogram the far left posters here?

Democrats: Have a reason, decide to sue.

Republicans: Decide to sue, go searching for a reason. Which they still haven't found.

So, just another fine thread showing Republican dishonesty and inconsistency, but not much else. There was really no reason for it. We already know the depths Republicans will stoop to in their quest to excuse anything their party does.
