"So it's okay to sign an un-Constitutional piece of legislation into law if you're sure the SCOTUS will strike it down? That's a little unnerving to me."

Then you don't see the logic. Either the SCOTUS overrules the law, in which case you've achieved total political victory by removing the issue from your opponents without giving anything up, or else the SCOTUS rules that the law *is* Constitutional, in which case you haven't signed anything unConstitutional, per SCOTUS.

I see. So, since Roe v. Wade was been decided for the side of the baby-killers, then we're all in agreement that abortion IS Constitutional.

Do you agree with the SCOTUS interpretation of the First Amendment as it applies in this case?
