CFR will be brought up again and again and again no matter how many times it is passed and struck down. If the SCOTUS strikes it down then Daschle and McCain will moan and groan some more. If Bush would have tried to educate the american people as to why he needed to veto the bill then no matter what was brought up in the future, people would at least be educated and make an informed decision. Gee, for a president who touted education reform, he sure doesn't walk the walk when it comes to educating the american people.

Then you have never read this yet, have you?

However, the bill does have flaws. Certain provisions present serious constitutional concerns. In particular, H.R. 2356 goes farther than I originally proposed by preventing all individuals, not just unions and corporations, from making donations to political parties in connection with Federal elections.

I believe individual freedom to participate in elections should be expanded, not diminished; and when individual freedoms are restricted, questions arise under the First Amendment.

I also have reservations about the constitutionality of the broad ban on issue advertising, which restrains the speech of a wide variety of groups on issues of public import in the months closest to an election.

I expect that the courts will resolve these legitimate legal questions as appropriate under the law.

President George W. Bush

Yes all you rats you have been snookered. This bill is going to be finished off once and for all, because of what President Bush did. And the rat trap is going to catch all of you demorats in one big swoop. Election day when you are voted back to the stone age, for daring to try and take away Free Speech in this country.

Possibly, although when both Ronald Regan and GHWB advocated for the line-item veto and failed to get it, then Clinton got it passed, SCOTUS knocked it down pronto and it hasn't reared it's head again. We can always hope can't we?
