No.....he is counting on Nine Supreme Court Justices. You know, those guys in black robes who rule on constitution "stuff"?
What? Doesn't Bush also know about the constitutional stuff, also? He did say that he had constitutional problems with it so he isn't that ignorant of our founding principles. My point is that, no matter what the role and duty of the SCOTUS is, this bill should never have gotten to them if the Chief Executive Officer was properly interpreting the constitution. I really do believe that all of you who are giving Bush a pass on this by saying it should be handled just in the courts are as furious as anyone. Tell me that you're not a little upset that everyday you are being reminded on this website that all Bush had to do is veto this bill. Bush has created all his own problems with this.
I don't believe for a minute that he will care about advancing a conservative agenda if he has a republican senate and house next year. There still won't be enough of a republican senate majority to make much difference with all the RINOs. Why should he care if americans are fat and happy and don't want any dissent? He will just go around the country making speeches in 2003 and 2004 to reaffirm his kingly status and lovely tone leading up to his re-election campaign at the end of 2004.
