No, it's NOT stupid. Calm down. Or don't, it's your choice. Why do you think the SCOTUS was created in the first place? To sit there in black robes twiddling their fingers? They'll take the case, and they'll render a decision that the RATS tried to undermine the Constitution.

Besides, if GWB vetoed it, it would come back again in a few years, most likely because the RATS would pound GWB on embracing "the big money corporations" (as Joe Lieberman tried to point out today on the floor), and more than likely the Republicans would lose the next election and then we would have an unconsitutional law on our hands because the RATS would take about 5 minutes to get it passed.

Think of the whole puzzle, not just pieces of it.

I hate to step on your toes. But ever since Roosevelt, SCOTUS has consistently under-mined the Constitution. Ever hear of Roe vs. Wade, as an example?

I think I DO see the whole picture... unfortunately too many people (+60 Senators and 1 President) could care less if they SUPPORT a law that CLEARLY violates the constitution if there could possibly be some long term political benefit... You don't see a problem with that????,,,... the SCOTUS stand ready to hear cases that actually have strong arguments on both sides... in this case the law is CLEAR and yet 60 of our Senators voted for something that is UNQUESTIONABLY... ILLEGAL... and now it seems the President will sign it... How disapointing..
