You know, I tried to rationalize why Bush signed this law, solely based on the idea that the SCOTUS would shoot it down. I posted over and over again that it didn't matter that the President signed it- it would be ruled unconstitutional. I backed the wrong horse- and put faith in the wrong people. I should have put faith in my President to uphold the Constitution. Like I said, I backed the wrong horse.

Well, we all make mistakes.

If there is a strategy here that the Bush Admin is trying to create, someone please explain it to me.

One of the most baffling aspects of this President is his aversion to the veto.

It's a legitimate excercise of Presidtential power. Why fight with one hand tied behind his back?

I suppose he is trying to show "compassion" for his enemies... :-/

Because we "control" Congress. He doesn;t think it looks good for a GOP president to veto stuff from a GOP Congress.
