Like you, I also felt the decision not to veto this piece of dung was a mistake, BOTH as a matter of political strategy AND as a constitutional issue.

This steaming pile is clearly unconstitutional. Bush knew, or should have known that.

Many feel that he decided not to poke a stick in McCain's eye by vetoing it, and instead left it to the Supremes.

But the cold, hard fact of the matter is that NO ONE outside of the Beltway, NY Media Corporate Offices and McCain's Arizona office gave a rat's ass about this issue or this stoopid bill.

Sure, Bush would have weathered a phony political "storm" concocted by the liberal media, who all recognize a nice boost for their opinions, but that would have been over in two weeks.

McCain was a paper tiger then, and Rove should have known it.

Now, we all have to figure a way out of this mess. I'm not abandoning Bush. All Presidents get a mulligan or two. But this is a big time slice into the woods from a guy who's been playing out of the rough a little too often for my tastes, at least as regards domestic policy issues.
