They are statements, with no legal standing. Purely symbolic. And in this instance, Hastert is just trying to get the Republicans some 'positive' spin, because they really need it. This is so obviously a political ploy. Why? Because it only took Denny 5 YEARS to come up with this... 'heartfelt dedication', and he STILL couldn't be bothered to do it on the DAY ITSELF!! What an arse. And never one to miss an opportunity, Denny decides to tack on some 'atta boys' while he's at it. Resolutions are not laws. They are statements, with no legal standing. Purely symbolic.
