Well, I wish you good hunting. It is hard to see that the Bush administration will challenge this given the rhetoric they have used. I can't reconcile the fact the president stated that there are Constitutional issues but he will sign it. Unless of course they do have a plan to challenge it. That would certainly put a stake in it if it goes to the Supreme Court immediately. There is a steep political cost to Bush if he just signs and accepts this bill. Conservatives get mad when a politician abandons principle, liberals get mad when a politician takes goodies away. People do not care about not having CFR, but they care very much about having it. The polls that show this is not a big issue do not address that side of the equation. Bush will pay a big price for signing if he does not have a plan to deal with the "Constitutional Issues."
regards

This is a great point...one the White House seems to be missing.
