Look, believe what you want to believe.

Don't vote for Bush the next time around.

Just stop the whining.

You aren't inclined to delve into the finer of this legislation. In that regard, you are politically naive. You want the President to veto this legislation strictly on constitutional grounds, even if it causes his opposition to have the upper hand and be able to relentlessly attack him with for the next 3-4 weeks, or even months. May be even hold it over his head this November, during Congressional elections. I'd try thinking for a change and stop being so rigid with your political ideology.

I already said, I wouldn't sign it, but I'm not an absolutist either. You can't just draw a line in the sand, on each and every issue. Pragmatism and compromise will get you most of what you want, but not everything you want.

So if one side wants the abolition of the Bill of Rights, and the other side doesn't, it becomes "pragmatic" politics to concede the overturning of one amendment every few years, in the interest of "compromise"?

I see.

Do not presume that because I am not concerned with this bill that I am not very familiar with it.

I will say this once again:

The President's public statement yesterday that he is willing to sign a bill that he openly acknowledges as unconstitutional changes everything.
