Over the weekend he wrote in the L.A. Times: “When I testified before the House Judiciary Committee against President Bush’s unconstitutional use of presidential signing statements (the Constitution allows a president two choices: sign a bill and make it federal law or veto it; ignoring it is not an option), not a single Republican on the committee saw anything wrong with what the president had done. They later found the same practice unlawful when a Democratic president did it.” The writing is a little unclear — presumably former representative Edwards does not mean that every single Republican on the committee “later found the same practice unlawful when a Democratic president did it.” But I’m not aware of any congressional Republicans, on or off the committee, who objects to signing statements in principle now but didn’t during the Bush administration. I’ve seen Republicans poke fun at Obama for issuing signing statements given his campaign comments on the issue, and I wouldn’t be surprised if Republicans objected to the content of particular signing statements. But who are these unnamed Republicans who take the view Edwards attributes to them — approving Bush’s signing statements while finding them “unlawful” now?
