The new congress is just now taking office, so it's not like this is their fault.
I would think this is more of a judicial aspect now though. Until someone sues because the government has read their mail, no one can stop Bush from making these statements. Once challenged, this signing statement (or perhaps all signing statements) could be found unconstitutional.
At this point it's all about political capital. If Bush drums up his base enough, congress won't give him as much crap and hang up his agenda. I mean, currently Bush is floundering on a whole lot of issues, so he needs to find a way to gain support.
And for the Republicans to gain seats in the midterms, Bush is going to need higher approval ratings.
