“President Bush signed the thing, probably because he knew the Senate would probably override a veto”
He should have vetoed it anyway. That was very poor leadership. Sometimes you have to take a stand even if you know you are going to lose, it’s the principal. I hate to say it, but in some ways, President Bush has been a disappointment.
I agree he should have done it. Obviously he was looking ahead to re-election and didn’t want McCain against him.
