We'll See

Snarlin' Arlen to sue Our Glorious Leader™? Prove it.

A powerful Republican committee chairman who has led the fight against President Bush's signing statements said Monday he would have a bill ready by the end of the week allowing Congress to sue him in federal court.

"We will submit legislation to the United States Senate which will...authorize the Congress to undertake judicial review of those signing statements with the view to having the president's acts declared unconstitutional," Judiciary Committee Chairman Arlen Specter, R-Pa., said on the Senate floor.

Here's my safe guess: Specter will "negotiate" with Cheney, walk out of the meeting and pronounce himself satisfied, and nothing will change.

It's what he always does.
