I wonder if he has seen and heard the conservative backlash about the amnesty plan

I believe this is exactly what is happening. I expect Dubya to take a "hard turn to the right" with judges, tax-cuts and maybe even...dare I wish for it... spending "cuts", just to mollify his conservative campaign contributors.

He is not sidestepping Congress. He is side stepping a small Democrat minority of senators!

I think he did it to help Dean's candidacy. Perfect timing to rile the Dims in Iowa.

Now Bush hopes all the folks pissed off about immigration will shut up...

Maybe so, but this means a lot top me and goes a long way to smoothing my ruffled feathers.
