Bush and Rove support this? Oh, well. Nobody's perfect.

I hope you're being sarcastic! Reducing this abomination to the "nobody's perfect" category is jaw-dropping.

Hopefully, this can get stopped in Congress. Same goes for the Assult Weapons Ban renewal in 2004.

Hopefully my dog will learn to deposit gold nuggets in the yard instead of his typical stinkpiles. I'd say the odds of that happening are about equal to the two items you mentioned.

I wouldn't rule out a Congressional bogging down. Both parties are divided on immigration issues, and there is no clear concensus in the Republican or 'Rat caucuses. That gives the possibility, if not probability, of multiple proposals floating around with none of them able to muster majority support. If that happens, Bush can tell the voters he's pandering to, "Well, I tried", and win them over that way.
