This is a good idea. I'm also going to mention my feelings about the AWB too.

[You Gotta Be Kidding Me]

In a short time it will be President Dean's White House thanks to "numnuts" Dubya.

[Sunshine Sister]

You just picked my brain! I'm outraged that Bush didn't have the guts to veto this. It's time to do more than close down the WH switchboard. It is time to start removing judges.

[Conspiracy Guy]

What about IOU?

[mfulstone]

Uh...gee! I might be outraged too if I knew what the #e!! "CFR" meant.

[E=MC²]

Obviously, since all THREE branches of government supported CFR, it must be a good thing. (cough, gag)

I appreciate and agree with your sentiments on CFR, but any number of calls or letters will have zero impact. Bush knew it was crap when he signed it; he probably still thinks it's crap; he probably wanted the SCOTUS to overturn it. Had he vetoed it, he'd have been roasted in the press and every news item about fundraising in '04 would begin "Bush, who vetoed CFR...".

The political calculus is that he can do more good by signing CFR and remaining in office than vetoing it and letting Dean sign it in '05.

[Mac The Knife]

Sorry I think the fault lies with the RATS

[Mark]

Yes! I agree. Besides clearing out AlQuida and removing Sadam in a rapid manner and bringing honor back to the White House and honor to our military, what else has he done!(good protest sign?)

[BushisTheMan]

Fine, don't support Bush. Then you get Dean! What an idiot you are!

[Recovering_Democrat]

I'm displeased with SCOTUS, they did the wrong thing, too. From top to bottom this was bad. Now, that being said, what can be done? Well, we can either wallow in anger or we can work to put more conservative people on the bench. Overturning the unconstitutionalities of this law is not out of the question. Re-writing the law is not out of the question either.

We have, really, two choices when we go into the voting booth: vote for the Democrat who will definitely move us into an anti-First Amendment society
OR
we could vote for Republicans who, though they sometimes put "expediency" over "righteousness" generally move us toward a more FREE society.

For me, being a former Democrat, the choice is clear: I'll be voting Republican.

[My2Cents]

With all due respect, I don't understand the outrage. In making a "freedom of speech" argument against the campaign finance reform law, it would seem that ANY campaign finance law enacted by Congress or the states when such became the vogue in the mid-1970s would be a violation of the First Amendment. Regulation of campaign contributions, whether by individuals, corporations, or PACs, and whether to individual campaigns or to political organizations, are all regulated. So, why the outrage?

[Recovering_Democrat]

One other thing to add to my previous post: This vote was as narrow as narrow gets: 5 to 4. I firmly believe another strong conservative on the bench would join the Constitutionalists and overrule the law...it would be a watershed on the level of Dred Scott.

And it would enjoy the support of ultra liberals like the ACLU and the conservatives....in fact, the Roe question might be moot in the coming months as liberals and conservatives who oppose this muzzling of free speech becomes more and more apparent. The question of the First Amendment might be important for future judge nominees.

I am more determined than ever to vote Republican. We cannot allow Chuck Schumer's choice for judges to get on the Bench.

[jwalsh07]

I called at 1:00PM. My advice tot eh POTUS:

Be a man, admit you made a mistake and start appointing judges during the recess.

[StoneColdGOP]

I'm about ready to forget voting for Bush in '04.

[verity]

Bravo! Great rant and rave!

[Dan from Michigan]

I'm calling tomorrow. I called my Congressman(who voted right) already about the judges.

Bush heard from me once already on this. Well, he will again.

Why don't you call for people to hound the justices on the Supreme Court? How about throwing water balloons at McCain and Feingold? Oh, and be sure to use LOTS!!!!! of exclamation points if you give your opinion in writing but particularly if you start lots of threads on the same subject!!!!
