I'm glad someone is recognizing how important this is

And the fact that it's a Republican makes it that much sweeter! It's true that signing statements have been around for a while, and for all I know presidents have taken them seriously in the past. Even if that's the case, Bush & Co. seem to be taking them particularly seriously...in a rather public and heavy handed way. I'm glad to see that at least members of Congress are seeing that one of the goals of this administration is to make the Executive Branch all-powerful, and are being active in trying to stop this from happening.
