Pundits are predicting Bush will sign it but I'm hoping he will surprise them and do the right thing (something political pundits aren't used to expecting).

On the other hand, if Bush signs a bill he knows to be unconstitutional then he is willfully violating his oath of office and he lowers himself to the same DC political scum that's been ruining this country for so long. If he is unwilling to expend some political capital to do the right thing and instead waits for the courts to clean up the mess, then he is taking the coward's way out.

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.

A veto with a strong speach, naming names, could put this issue to bed for a long time. Expose the hypocracy, demand some real reform that respects the Constitution (unlimited donations, total disclosure, let the people decide). He should explain things in simple terms as a non-lawyer like most of the people in the country. Say right out that all this bill does is take away freedom of speach for some and hide the corruption better.

Is this so hard?
