Oh, yeah, I remember that. Campaign Finance Reform. McCain-Feingold. The biggest attack on the 1st Amendment in the history of the nation.

Which George Bush signed, although he claimed he believed it to be unConstitutional, because surely SCOTUS would strike it down. D'oh!

Arguably one of the lamest things W Bush ever did given his rationale for it. The reason presidents have veto power over legislation is so they can exercise Executive Branch authority over what they believe is un-Constitutional. Passing the buck to the SCOTUS in spite of your own convictions is just weakness.

In 8 years Bush never vetoed anything and was hoping the SC would do the dirty work he didn’t want to be the bad guy...
