What I don't understand is why Bush is not given a pass on CFR, but is on things like the Bush-Kennedy education plan.

I'm not entirely certain he was given quite so extensive a pass on that plan. I did see quite a number of rounds roasting him (appropriately) over it. What strikes me, aside from the point another poster just enunciated (i.e., when men and women of the right start saying Constitutionality is in the eye of the Supreme Court's beholder, it's over), is that never mind being worthy of our Founding Fathers - this government isn't even worthy of Barry Goldwater.

I will not attempt to determine whether legislation is "needed" before I have first determined whether it is constitutionally permissible. - Barry Goldwater.

"this government isn't even worthy of Barry Goldwater."

Oh yes it is. Barry, too, "grew" in office. :(
