I will confess to not listening to Rush regularly. I did catch bits on Thursday and Friday and my impression was that he was characterizing the campaign finance reform bill as one of the largest constitutional wrecks to have ever emanated from the Congress. Bad as the bill is, I do not see that.
In listening to Rush off and on over the years, he has never struck me as hard core on the social issues nor has me impressed me as one who is constantly question congressional authority. I have viewed him more as a republican apologist than as a constitutionalist.
Bush's education position is an example. I recall Rush extolling the President's political manuevering and not really questioning the authority by which the federal government presumes to be involved in education in the first instance.
