If it curbs money in politics at all, the effect will probably be slight. And Republicans shouldn't be alarmed, despite House Speaker Dennis Hastert's claim that Shays-Meehan could produce Armageddon for them.

Exactly right.

My contention is that if this passes and Bush doesn't veto, he willingly refuses to uphold the Constitution as he is sworn to do. And the attitude that pundits and pols take - and I hope Bush isn't included - that "we know its unconstitutional but let the Supreme Court sort it out because we have political points to score - is COWARDLY.
