Obama on signing statements: much ado about nothing?
By Adam Reilly

Over at Blue Mass. Group, blogger/attorney David Kravitz makes a pretty compelling case that Barack Obama's "rein[ing] in" of signing statements (to paraphrase today's front-page Globe headline) isn't much of a change at all.
Writes Kravitz:
[T]he memorandum basically preserves the position that if the president believes that a part of a bill is unconstitutional, he can refuse to abide by it, even as he signs it into law.
