"the Supreme Ct. will knock it down anyway"

Nonsense. Right in the bill is a provision that says all law suits for the first 60 days have to go through a panel of 3 D.C. judges (read liberal here). The bill, which is really just a series of amendments to an existing finance bill, also includes provisions to keep the other parts in force if one is found unconstitutional.

You can't just go to court and say "I don't like this bill". You have to have grounds to bring suit and each and every little part will require a lawsuit (perhaps some can be grouped).

Those of you who for whatever reason insist that this bill is good and that Bush really is conservative should stop wasting our time with this pathetic delusion.

There is no reason to expect more people to vote Republican because of Bush's breaking of his campaign promise. If anything, the opposite may well occur, as Daddy Bush should know all too well.

Even if a few RINO's went to the Senate, since there are already at least 10 RINO's there, no future "Republican" senate will be any more conservative than the present one. To get a conservative senate would require replacing 10 RINO's plus electing 10 new conservatives to replace democrats to get cloture. Not going to happen - even in the wildest Bushie exageration.

Maybe you're right. But even Rino senators would give the GOP a majority and kick the dems out of the power seat on judicial nominees. Keep complaining and you'll have your dem Senate back and a dem House too. The dems in charge of the judiciary committee will never let a true conservative judge to the floor for a vote. And, as you've clearly outlined here, that is the bottom line isn't it? Everything else can be challenged in the courts, but if President Bush cannot even get his nominees to the floor for a vote, (there was a good article here outlining how Chuckie had a plan to block all conservative nominees), we're all in a lot of deep doo-doo.
