(62,536 posts)Signed what? He can't rewrite law with signing statements. So what do you think he signed? The law itself. A better phrasing might be, with identical meaning, "As he signed the law, he rewrote the law." But I personally like the authors approach.
I did not say it was a distortion, as you did not establish that the author distorted. It is incorrect, misinformed, but not a distortion. A distortion assumes that someone knows what they are saying is not what they are saying. If you provide an example where the author shows knowledge that the Levin quote is taken out of context, then it would be much easier to prove the distortion case.
Meanwhile this is the third time I have explained to you that the author did not refer to any signing statements in the quoted text, and this is the third time you intentionally, willfully, twist what the author said.
