(26,314 posts)for me. I am not in a high opinion of them and don't believe the executive requires them to creatively interpret and/or enforce the law so that mostly makes them a thumb the nose deal or a cheap figleaf to spin away signing a bad bill.
Swanson is pretty sharp, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the sentence you are quoting is not the source of his problem with the President on this.
I say if you are under oath to protect and uphold the Constitution then you are duty bound to veto this piece of shit and I don't give a damn if the vote was unanimous in both houses and every channel was running a special about how wonderful and vital the law is.
There is no excuse, just as there is no excuse for each traitor the voted "Yea".
Fucking oathbreakers.
