How the hell is this consistant with the oath Dubya took to uphold the Constitution? It's literally Betting the First Amendment on a crapshoot.

Why is it whenever anything passes you guys dont like you make like its a constitutional crisis? Do you have any sense of perspective. You all sound like Bush was single handedly censoring the press, locking up his enemies without trial, and breaking down doors to take peoples guns away.

The parts of this law that are clearly not going to pass constitutional muster are goign to be stripped from the bill by the courts prior to the laws goign into effect. And if the courts dont strip those parts out, then they werent unconstitutional in the first place. Stupid legislation yes, but then what else would you expect from Washington.

Dave, what part of censorship and Free Speech don't you understand?

Look, if you don't have a problem with betting your Right's in a crapshoot to win favor in the media then I think maybe you are in the wrong place.

When Dubya and a Majority of Congress conspire to muffle you and take away your right's.. expecting the SCOTUS to step in, play "goalie" and prevent serious damage from being done then IT IS a Constitutional Crisis.

I am glad that you have so much faith in our court system that you would bet my right's on it. Thanks.

No, don't be ridiculous..

1) He had Congress to help him.

2) The "press" won't be censored.. They are the ones who couldn't care less about CFR, it doesn't affect them.

It affects US.
