What is your objective?
To see the AWB die?
Or to have Bush et al beat their chests and bellow "Constitution... Second Amendment... Founding Fathers?"
You can't have both.
Once Bush et al show their hand the DemoncRATS have a clear field of fire.
All that has to happen for the AWB to die is for the House to ignore it. Considering the thousands of bills introduced each session and the small number that actually pass, it ain't rocket science to figure out that most bills shrivel up and blow away.
If you notice, the New York Times hasn't mentioned that Delay is going to block it.
They want to get dim-witted conservatives riled up, and they are succeeding.
You'd better hope so. Right now IMHO the president's failure to make a stand is encouraging the dims to try and EXPAND the AWB. I'd just like to see a guy that is riding high in the polls make a principled stand on an issue that is very important to his base.
