This President has zero respect for the law, and must be impeached.

Here is the signing statement:

The executive branch shall construe subsection 404(c) of title 39, as enacted by subsection 1010(e) of the act, which provides for opening of an item of a class of mail otherwise sealed against inspection, in a manner consistent, to the maximum extent permissible, with the need to conduct searches in exigent circumstances, such as to protect human life and safety against hazardous materials, and the need for physical searches specifically authorized by law for foreign intelligence collection.

Looking for the text for 404(c) and 1010(e).  For as it is worded above, it does not sound as bad as the author from the NY Daily News states.
