Listen. If Bush vetoed this law, it could and would very well come up again. If he signs it, then sends it to SCOTUS (as he has said in his own press release that parts of it are unconstitutional), SCOTUS could rule on it and render the decision that it was UNCONSTITUTIONAL and it would never be brought up again...ever. Unless someone wants to make an amendment to the Constitution, and that would never pass, I have to say that although my first reaction was HORROR..I think he may have found a way to make sure the Constitution will never be used as toilet paper again.

That is a good point. SCOTUS kills things PERMANENTLY. A veto is temporary, and its use is decided by whoever is elected. Nobody elects the Supreme Court justices.
