CA-GOV: Signing Statements, California-Style

jennifer poole has a great diary on Kos right now, and while I can't add anything at the moment, I wanted to call your attention to it. The Governor got major props and burnished his Democratic credentials on this signature piece of legislation combating global warming, which he is CHANGING UNILATERALLY through executive order, in much the same kind of violation of the Constitutional process that the President does when he writes signing statements that overturn Congressional laws.

The California Democratic Party is populated with, frankly, suckers. They took this governor at his word when they had no reason to do so. They allowed him these so-called victories that were nothing more than propaganda events, and they think he can be trusted to be the nice bipartisan moderate moving forward when he's done nothing but change his positions while in office.

With Phil Angelides, you know exactly where you stand. With Arnold Schwarzenegger, you know you'll hear one lie after another.
