No, of course I'm not saying you would trample the Constitution for the advancement of your own ideology! Don't know where you got that idea, after all you are the Modern Day Cato!

All I am saying is, think about it, bottom line, do you really want presidents (remember the Bubba) killing a bill because they think (or spin) that it is unconstitutional? Should the people have their day in court or not? If so, when and under what circumstances?

This isn't to say there isn't reason to be p.o.'d about CFR. I'm just harping on the fact that, whatever people want to blame Bush for, you can't blame him for not doing the Supreme Court's job. Be mad that, in your view, he signed a really bad bill, but don't add your reasoned voice to the hyperventilated rhetoric about Bush "abandoning" the Constitution.

Yes. Yes I do. That's the way it was intended to work.

I think you have it backwards. The Supreme Court is doing his job. And Congress'.
