Bush ignores laws he inks, vexing Congress By LAURIE KELLMAN, Associated Press Writer
29 minutes ago

WASHINGTON - A bill becomes the rule of the land when Congress passes it and the president signs it into law, right?


Not necessarily, according to the White House. A law is not binding when a president issues a separate statement saying he reserves the right to revise, interpret or disregard it on national security and constitutional grounds.

That's the argument a Bush administration official is expected to make Tuesday before the Senate Judiciary Committee, chaired by Arlen Specter, R-Pa., who has demanded a hearing on a practice he considers an example of the administration's abuse of power.

"It's a challenge to the plain language of the Constitution," Specter said in an interview with The Associated Press. "I'm interested to hear from the administration just what research they've done to lead them to the conclusion that they can cherry-pick."

Our goverment is taxing us to work, water, and taking over our houses. We are told what color to paint our own houses. We don't have the right to privacy anymore. People can't even sit out in front of their houses on the weekend and enjoy the time off from work. How much more constitutional fraud are we the people going to endure. We can't even afford to sit down and eat as family's. We are to busy paying taxes and for illigal immagrants. They own all our liqur stores and work at all our fast foods. They can' t even understand english for gods sake. Whats the next corrupt move?

My husband gets these in R.I. I made these with the batter of a Corn Fritter batter and it doesn't work. This is a deep fried batter. No onions or green peppers.
