Why do these people waste time and resources to pass laws that they know are unconstitutional? Isn't this against their oath of office?

Lets see...last week Dashle said he didn't have the 60 votes to stop a filabuster on the stimulus bill...anyone want to bet that CFR hits the floor immediately without Dashle even mentioning that he doesn't have the 60 votes to stop a filabuster

"Isn't this against their oath of office?"

Yes, but that never bothered them before. Why should it bother them now?

the constitution means nothing. The courts don't take it seriously at all. Ask yourself if there's anywhere in the constitution that bans partial birth abortion. The supreme court says so, so the constitution means anything the judges say it means. It is of no protection at all. If this new campaign finance reform is fashionable, then it will be enforced by the courts.

I think it is high time we just do away with the Bill of Rights. After all, it would be much less painful to destroy it all, rather than extract it amendment by amendment.

Oaths are empty political promises. Professional politicians have no principles other than being re-elected. Prostitution maybe the oldest profession, but politicians are just as experienced. Perhaps even older is the saying that you get what your pay for. America now has the government it deserves.

TERM LIMITS is the only form of campaign finance reform that this country needs. And it is the only form that will ever work.

All the Bush lovers on this site and across America, including my father, easily forget Bush's promise to uphold the Constitution. And he turns around and says he will sign a campaign finance bill.

The United States that we live in today is not the same country that I was born in and it most certainly not the country that is promised by the Declaration of Independence and it most certainly not the country that is promised by the Constitution of the United States. I want my freedom back and I want the country that is promised by our founding documents. Until the present United States dies, we are not going to be free. Politicians have no intention of ever turning back the clock. Their power, job security, egos and careers depend on it. Until enough Americans recognize that one state has to secede from the union, we face declining freedom and progressive enslavement.

This is how they fool the idiot voters. Pass feel-good sounding laws that they know will not pass muster, but then they blame the judges who rule based on the Constitution.

It is the old shell game, perpetuated due to the willing stupidity of the voters. It would serve all of those useless bastards right if the law stood and came back to bite them all.

This will force a new form of underground, grass-roots operations. It will be more work, but "Who Dares Wins!"

[Sgt_Schultze]

You are exactly correct. That is why all the members who voted in favor of this law, and the President, if he should sign it, should be thrown from office if a challenge overturns this monstrosity as unconstitutional.
