President Bush signed the thing, probably because he knew the Senate would probably override a veto.

I believe he signed it to try to make peace with McCain after the 2000 election fiasco in South Carolina.

McCain is a very vindictive man, and he's still actively working to torpedo all of Bush's initiatives in the Senate. It amazes me that his ego is that huge...he thinks he can stab the party in the back and still be elected our president.

He has the audacity to try to get our nomination using votes from Dems and Independents. He even brags about it (claiming diversity). He didn't win the Republican vote in New Hampshire....Mitt did. I believe he'll fizzle now that he's pretty much run out of states that have open primaries.

I agree he should have done it. Obviously he was looking ahead to re-election and didn’t want McCain against him.

If only Fred Thompson hadn’t been such a good lawyer in filing his brief supporting the law, maybe the Court would have overturned it.

Please, this man is a conservative. He's our champion. Can't you see the white horse? What's wrong with you.

That isn't a white horse: "And I looked and behold: a pale horse. And his name, that sat on him, was Death" [of freedom]...

Yes, my dripping with sarcasm note was intended for bots, and you can rest assured they saw it.

Thought so.

That’s why I piled on...

IMHO, the proper thing to do would be to advertise the movie with Senator Clinton’s name bleeped out of the ads, and a disclaimer that they couldn’t say on the air who the movie was about.

I don’t think they ever won a case but they were good for a few things. They did push for depositions and forced some things into the open that no one else would touch.

I can’t believe that it wasn’t very long ago we actually watched Chris Mathews and thought he wasn’t too bad since he DID report on some of the misdeeds of the clintons. Lou Dobbs was a source that would occasionally report on things that we knew were happening but no newspaper or network would cover them.

Fox news still doesn’t cover a lot, but it certainly has changed what is reported on by the networks and the newspapers of record. When we had to rely on ABC,NBC,CBS,CNN,PBS, NYT, and the Washington Post we were pretty much thrilled when anyone would throw us a scrap.
