First of all, going back on a campaign promise is bad, but it happens. (he did promise to veto, look at the National Review article posted earlier)

The White House has released a statement saying that President Bush will sign the bill.

Signing a bill that is unconstitutional IS a big deal, and the fact that you're not outraged is pretty sickening. I feel the same way about the first amendment as I do the second. If the first can be eroded, all of them can be eroded.

I guess I should shut up and be a good little politico?

CFR has a provision in it that states that if a part or parts of the bill are deemed unconstitutional, they can be removed without killing the bill. So your accusation that the President would be knowingly signing an unconstitutional bill doesn't hold water. READ THE BILL before jumping all over people who have different opinions

President Bush does not write legislation and it's the responsibility of Congress and the courts to determine the constitutionality of a bill or piece of legislation.
