flashback to mcqueeg/feingold...W signed it so the supremes could nullify it...didnt work out too well...

before that W said of the AWB renewel, 'get it to my desk, and I'll sign it'...forunately the CONgress came up a couple votes short on that one, ONLY due to rat fear...

its 'law' now indeed...seal of approval by the roberts court makes walking it back politically harder than ever, if you thought the demagougery was bad before, wait till the smears come in the next session during a halfhearted attempt to repeal...thats why we'll only get 'tweaking' of it to suit the masses...all the while 1000s of pages of regulation [fiat law] are being pumped out and cemented in place...

I agree. The GOP has not had 60% of the senate since the 1920s. Repealing the funding with 51 senate votes might work if the GOP has the guts, and if Romney is there to sign it, but lately his campaign can't find it butt with both hands. As you noted, they would have to ignore the demagoguery machine too.

Can you add pork to a reconciliation bill? If there is a way....
