Subject: RE: BS: Odds on Dems taking over Congress?
Peace, W's latest bill that redefined torture and gave immunity to his crew was signed last week.
IT WAS SIGNED TO LATE to be legal.
W ended up making his second veto of his presidency. It is called a pocket veto but it is a veto nonetheless.
I watched the signing ceremony which took all of nine seconds. Usually the president uses as many pens as possible to sign for historic gift purposes. W used only one and jumped up and left.
This tells me he knew he was signing too late for the bill to be legal.
