For some reason, he really expected thebad parts to be struck down by the SCOTUS. And so they would have been if the SCOTUS was doing it's job. Instead, the SCOTUS is doing the fascists' job.

First, I'm not sure Bush expected the SCOTUS to do anything. If there is any evidence to the contrary, I'd like to see it.

Second, even if he did expect them to "fix" it, he never should have gambled on such an important issue.

The buck should have stopped at his desk, and the scary thing is, at best, he was in fact planning on passing the buck the whole time.

Bush is 95% to blame for CFR and the Republicans (Bush included) are 100% to blame for it.

Why would he expect SCOTUS to honor their oaths of office if he wasn't willing to honor his own oath of office? I never understood that excuse.

It would have been so easy for Bush to have vetoed this. Not to mention that it was the right thing to do.

He simply could have shown that NAACP ad with the pickup truck and said, "I might not have liked this, but I believe they had a right to produce it and show it on television. This law is un-American because it makes ads like that illegal." It wasn't that hard to explain, and it wouldn't have cost much "political capital" to either eliminate this crap altogether, or to get a better law with the most blatantly unconstitutional provisions removed.

Instead, he put his party above the Constitution, and that's unacceptable from anyone. Democrats do that and that's why I don't vote for Democrats. I expected better from Bush.
