4. Awhile back, I read somewhere (sorry, no link)

That Obama said he would review all Shrub's signing statements once he was in office. Of course, all hell has broken loose with the economy since then, so I don't know how he will prioritize this now.

5. they are ALL unconstitutional - presidents must sign OR veto bills, they cannot ignore them or

rewrite them or claim they will fail to enforce them.

7. He just has to enforce the laws as written, no extra signing statements needed.

8. There is a question of whether Bush's signing statements have legal force...

...in the first place.

Justice Alito is in favor of them.

Thanks to Samuel Alito as a Reagan official....

=====================
The Reagan administration popularized the use of such statements and subsequent administrations continued the practice. (The courts have yet to give them much weight, though.)

=====================

It isn't clear what the other 8 Supreme Court Justices think of signing statements.

10. Signing statements have no legal force; there is no need to reverse them.
