Why would anyone think that the liberal SCOTUS would veto this bill? If Bush thought this would happen, he's even stupider than I thought. (And I think he's pretty stupid. BTW, has anyone seen the latest research on long term effects of pot and cocaine? Maybe that's why Bush thought the SCOTUS would veto this bill)

Although Bush might be stupid enough to believe this, his handlers are extremely smart. No, Bush and his inner circle knew all along that this bill would stand. After all, it makes incumbency so much more powerful and now that Bush is an incumbent, why should he care about free speech?

Bush's tap-dancing around this issue while well-meaning freepers fall all over each other defending the bum is quite similar to the Iraq debacle. While Bush waves the flag and talks tough, his buddies are cleaning up with their new rebuilding contracts in Iraq. And almost daily Bush gives some speech about how he wants the UN in Iraq and that he was really enforcing the UN's resolutions in Iraq. Since Iraq had no WMD's and had nothing to do with 9/11, I tend to believe Bush now rather than a few months ago when he was pretending to dis the UN.

No, I would say Bush is pretty smart. A masterful politician.

If that's the case then why would they even challenge it? Do you think all those constitutional lawyers were just faking it for those 4 hours of arguments in front of the SCOTUS?

I know your upset about this, so am I, but don't make a fool of yourself with Howard Dean like theories

Dennis Kucinich could not have said it better
