I no more have his ear than you do. He is going to sign the bill and let it go to court. It's funny, for the first time ever I saw "Independence Day" on TV. It was a great flick and enjoyable but I think the president as depicted in that movie is the ideal that some on here want Bush to mimic. They want him to stick it to the democrats with every sharp stick he finds, You want him to make fire and brimstone speeches blasting the evil democrats. But if anyone had paid the slightest attention to him in the campaign and while he was Texas Governor, that is not his style. DC was not only built on a swamp it is a swamp. If you go in yelling and thrashing around you will sink into the goo. I read the McConnell analysis of this bill and it so damned blatantly bad that I think the court could likely overturn the entire mess. I am not arguing that it would not be a good emotional feeling to see Bush rip the bill in two on TV but that is not the way he does things and the fact is, it wouldn't work anyway.
Remeber the first two weeks after 911 and no bombs were falling and then came the threads that Bush didn't have the sand to fight back?
No....but it would be nice if he actually would remember that as President his main job is to protect and defend the Constitution.
...and if he thinks the law is un-Constitutional...then he should have the cojones to stand up and refuse to sign it.
..and,if by some stange chance, he actually thinks that the law IS Constitutional...then we DO have the wrong man in the White House.
