The Republican sponsor of a postal reform bill has called on President Bush to explain why he used it to claim he can open domestic mail without a search warrant. Sen. Susan Collins of Maine questioned Bush's controversial Dec. 20 'signing statement' in which he stated if there were an emergency he wouldn't need a warrant to open letters. The bill he signed into law that day, co-sponsored by Collins, requires search warrants for mail. 'It is my hope that the administration will clarify its intent with this recent statement,' said Collins, a GOP moderate. The former Senate Homeland Security Committee chairwoman added that she has long had concerns about Bush's broad use of signing statements that attempt to reinterpret laws passed by Congress.
