I actually thought that Bush would veto this, but I was wrong. Although I don't agree, I do understand why he didn't (Daschle was running the Senate and threatening to hold up all legislation).

So what?

If Bush had vetoed McCain-Feingold in April of 2002, the veto would have been sustained. Daschle was going to do nothing for a year and a half?

That bluff should have been called.

You are assuming that all Congressmen and Senators would have voted the same way when the bill was returned for an override. McCain was gearing up for a huge PR push, and I think that an override was a distinct possibility.

As I said, I didn't agree, but I understood the reasoning. So sue me. The law is constitutional because the Supreme Court says it is, regardless of our opinions.

I did not expect this to be upheld. Neither did the President. Neither did Congressman Billybob, nor Mitch McConnell.

So, we can all whine and froth at the mouth, or we can start figuring out ways to get our message out and also figure out ways to get this law reversed.

Griping doesn't accomplish anything.
