This is out-and-out dictatorship. I am very upset with Pres. Bush for having signed this. He should have protected our rights from the idiots at SCOTUS.

Putting your shrillness aside for a moment, had Bush not signed this, would it NOT have gone to the SCOTUS?

[B Knotts]

Shrillness? For pointing out the obvious?

No. If he had vetoed it, it would not have gone to SCOTUS, because they would not have been able to override the veto.

[stljoe71]

Answer no because there were not enough votes to override a veto

If it had never become law it would never have gone to the Supreme Court. Duh. I'm willing to admit it was a stupid gamble on a very bad law, why aren't you?

The Court betrayed us but that doesn't get Bush off the hook for signing this. No, it does not.

It wasn't worth it to "take this issue away from the Democrats", was it? This is going to hurt Bush more than anything the Democrats can throw at him.
