I heard something to that effect in passing. I was working during the debate.

If that's true, Obama just gained some major value. Did any of the others have anything to say about it?

13. I actually think all of them would, but
they didn't want to keep saying the same things as the other...it's a slippery slope when there several candidates who think alike. You don't want to sound like a parrot, you know?

3. No. Review them, repeal bad ones. All candidates said the same during that question.

4. I watched that part. He did not that statement. Rather, he referred to using it as in the past:
to clarify terms in the law.

9. As far as I'm concerned, NO law passed after December 12, 2000 is valid
Not the Patriot Act, not any of Chimp's signing statements, none of the anti environmental bullshit, etc.

If I were President, I'd undo every last one of them. And probably be assassinated the next day :(

11. Any body in their wildest dreams that does not think that
any democratic president would not do away with the bogus signing statements is as stupid as the republicans. What's the big deal.

14. He said he would review ALL of them.

15. Signing Statements by one president can be repealed by another.....?
Anybody know? Executive Orders can be repealed.

I do not believe signing statements can be repealed. I am looking.

Anyone?
