Could not have summarized it better. Niether the liberals or the ultra-conservative-won't-be-happy-till-Pat-Buchanan-is-President types have not let it sink in that Bush, like Reagan, has brought a team of serious, professional, experts into this administration. They know where they are going and how to get there without shooting themselves in the foot. As evidenced many times in the past year, they will hold their cards close to their chest, bluff if needed, and if necessary even appear to make tactical retreats in order to achieve the larger goal. This is high stakes poker and you don't win by holding every hand.
Personally, I don't think GW will let this bill get to him. If it does, he will not sign it. And if he did, he knows the USSC will void it. So I won't lose sleep over this.
.... and he would retain my vote.
