Alterior motives?

I'm sorry, any credibility this release had was lost when I discovered they can't afford MS word or can't work the spell checker.

Now they got the scoop straight from Ms. Debbie:

Internet Gambling Brought to the Halls of Congress
PokerRoom.com is the best to play online poker!

October 10, 2006 - First we reported the rumors, now we got the inside scoop from Debbie Richardson, who was inside the White House and the halls of Congress today talking to various aides and staff members, all of whom expressed similar opinions.

The Port Security Bill will be signed on Friday. Although there is no such thing as a line item veto, the bill, supposedly, can have a separation from the other bill and be sent back to the Congress where it will be debated in lame duck sessions later this year.

It is still unclear whether or not language of the internet gambling portion of the bill has changed, or even if it is allowed to be changed. Staff members simply told Richardson that much lobbying was done on part of banks who claimed the law would cost them billions of dollars to be properly enforced.

The aides did make one thing clear to Richardson, the Internet Gambling Enforcement Act has many loopholes that are too big to be put into law, therefore, the bill has a high probability of being thrown back to Congress to be redefined at some point in the future.

They also made it clear to Richardson that a large scale protest held in early November (right before elections) would carry a good deal of weight in which way the law will go.

Richardson is in the process of planning the future peaceful demonstration. Stay tuned to CasinoGamblingWeb.com for details.

Uh, the point is that the article spelled it "alterior.", the poster wasn't saying the press release had "alterior motives."

I'm not the biggest fan of Bush, but it seems unlikely that he would decide that the entire legislative branch no longer matters and he can change the bill to say whatever he likes and then sign it.

Seems unlikely. That doesn't make it not true. He's been using signing statements. We can thank extremist Samuel Alito for that.

It is difficult to keep track of all the ridiculous [censored] this president does (and gets away with).
