Nine to One wasn't "Bipartisan" Enough

You see, the ABA has a hit piece disguised as an official "bipartisan" report on Bush's use of Presidential signing statements. No, Bush is not unique in the use of signing statements, but that wasn't an impediment for the liberal ABA. They saw an opportunity to score political points & little things like previous presidents using them or fibbing about the lopsided, overtly liberal panel weren't going to get in the way of issuing a severely flawed report.

The ABA's idea of "bipartisan" is to have nine liberals & one conservative on the panel. Well, even that wasn't good enough. As Power Line's Paul Mirengoff notes;

Although Fein is a conservative, he is an iconoclastic one, to say the least, and his views on the limits of executive power differ fundamentally from those of most conservatives. Indeed, he was known at the time of his selection by liberal ABA president Michael Greco to be a critic of signing statements.

Ah, you gotta give leftists credit. If they thought they could throw the kitchen sink & get away with it, they would.
