"If you were capable of seeing the big picture, you would see that by signing this bill - while expressing the same concerns regarding constitutionality most conservatives have - he will be setting it up to die NOW, and not rear its ugly head down the road."

We should heap praises on McCain and Shays and Feingold and Meehan and Boxer and Hillary!, and every other person who violated their oath of office? We should each send 'em a box of chocolates for advancing this, so that once and for all the SCOTUS can settle it. The people who actually chose to defend the Constitution (I was particularly pleased with Jo Ann Emerson) are actually obstructors who wanted to prevent the SCOTUS from hearing it? Was there a wrong vote here? If everything can be passed of with "Let the SCOTUS decide," then there can be no wrong votes about anything. Bawney Fwank can stand up, say that he knows parts of it are unConstitutional, and votes for it anyway. And Bush sided with him.

What lesson did Bush teach Americans? A sacred oath MEANS NOTHING. What a disgusting, shameful day for our country.

I didn't say that. You're comparing apples and oranges. Did any one of the people in your list stand up and say they felt the SCOTUS might have issues with the constitutionality of the bill? Bush is cutting them off at the knees - but you, being generally anti-Bush (father or son) - refuse to see that.
