Maybe you are right, and this will turn out fine, but I shudder when I think of running stuff through the Supreme Court for any reason.

Makes more sense to me to run your beer through a horse first.

On the whole I would agree with you. But in this case Bush did not have much choice. The Dems painted him into a corner and thought they had him check-mated with a damned if you do - damned if you don't situation. That is why the poison pill language was inserted and why McConnel and others so publicly pronounced their intention to challenge this in the Supreme court. They were providing cover for the president which allowed him to out-manuever Daschle and his band of miserable miscreants. If he'd vetoed it we would never hear the end of it.
