You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them. - Ray Bradbury
I am a native eastern Oregonian, and have lived here 50 of my 62 years. I left at 20, but was back by age 32 to be near my parents to help them in times of need. I don't fit in politically here because I view things from a decidedly left wing perspective... but that's o.k. because I love the people, I love the area and for the most part I like living here. I enjoy family time, listening to music, reading books, traveling, bird watching, hiking, backpacking, watching movies, keeping up on politics, watching sports, sitting at the computer so much I get sores on my ass, and playing music... if you need a band for your party or celebration, let me know; I play keyboards and sing for a rock and roll band, and we do mostly "classic rock". (I also like to play guitar and bass and other instruments, but those are for my private enjoyment only!) I am mainly an agnostic/skeptic, but would consider myself spiritual. I work in schools and in clinical settings as a speech/language therapist. It is enjoyable work and it pays some of the bills. I have a rather unpredictable sense of humor, which can get me in trouble at times, but hey, is life worth living without laughter? I think not!

Do you ever get the feeling that BushCo is pushing us as far as they can until we say "uncle?" I mean, maybe they want impeachment procedings. I, for one, have been ready to throw this admin under the bus for years.
YOU WOULD THINK that the election would have taught them SOMETHING, but no... it's one constitutional crime after another with these guys.
Democrats better put the kabosh on this insanity.
I think he would prefer Commandante or Tzar...Maybe Kaiser...Hell even Sultan
Yeah, Sultan Bush
Perhaps we should all start mailing suspicious packages all the time addressed to the White House and burry them in paper work.
Yeah, why can't Pelosi make signing statements? Or Harry Reid? For that matter, we citizens should get to make signing statements as well. If Bush can invent powers out of thin air, then surely there is a legal precedent for it now.
This should be impeachable.
Right on, Sheryl!
I suppose Bush will tack a signing statement onto the Constitution next... "I hereby construe the meaning of this Constitution as allowing me to do whatever I want in the exercise of my unlimited powers as the ruler of the earth." Scheise...
hello, Snave--
I'm certain his many offenses to date ARE impeachable. Now, will Congress get a backbone and DO anything about them?

btw--
I'd like to link my blog to yours -- ok?

I have desperately sought reasons to not take action against this president, partially because I remember the turmoil of the Clinton impeachment, and partially because I had not been convinced that he had committed a "high crime and misdemeanor." However, I am also very concerned about the issues addressed by the First, Second, Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Amendments. At issue in this instance is the Fourth Amendment, and this signing statement is a clear indication that not only does President Bush have no respect for the Fourth Amendment, he has every intention of violating it. There is a reason the Constitution of the United States has a ban on unreasonable search and seizure, and there's a reason the judiciary has been entrusted with preventing abuses of the same. I would think that violating the Constitution of the United States of America and thereby breaching the terms of his oath of office would qualify as a "high crime and misdemeanor." Enough is enough. It's time for him to be impeached.
