Good post John, as usual. I've been thinking about this legislation and why Bush would sign it even though he knows its unconstitutional. Before I get flammed out of existence, I'm just theorizing here, I don't like the bill either. What if they sign this bill, it goes to the Supreme Court and it's thrown out as unconstitutional, then once and for all it's done. It's a way to end 7 years of this nonsense and get McCain off his high horse. Just a thought.

Thanks for compliment, friend.

I've been thinking about this legislation and why Bush would sign it even though he knows its unconstitutional.

Presidents, even some of our favorites, routinely sign legislation they know (or suspect) to be unconstitutional.

The best example of this: The federal budget itself. By some estimates, roughly 2/3rds is unconstitutional.

The charge that Bush is knowingly violating his oath would carry more weight if it were followed up with calls for his impeachment. I don't, as of yet, hear any such calls.

So I don't take such charges seriously.
