For example, Bush signed CFR knowing full well that it was unconstitutional. It is NOT Unconstitutional for a President to sign a bill sent to him by Congress.
And how long have you been a psychic who knows what people are thinking?

Well, I certainly have no idea what you are thinking.
However, if Bush did not know that CFR was unconstitutional when he signed it, then that certainly doesn't speak very well of Bush. Everyone knows CFR is unconstitutional, except perhaps you, which is why it was immediately contested in court (by the NRA and others) with some success, and which is why it will probably end up before the Supreme Court. Nobody believes that Bush thought it was constitutional when he signed it. To believe otherwise would be to say that Bush is a moron. Is that your view? That Bush didn't know that it was unconstitutional?
The point is that some people around here think that it was okay for Bush to sign CFR because it was part of a larger conservative political strategy.
However, Bush signed an unconstitutional law. That may not in itself be unconstitutional, but it does violate the oath he took to uphold the constitution, and it certainly isn't very respectable. He has also said that he would sign AWF, which he also knows is unconstitutional. It would be nice if Bush spoke against it on principle, instead of hiding behind congress and the courts, while at the same time pandering to the left, and trying to have it both ways.
