That has got to be the absolute worst excuse for signing an UnConsitiutional piece of legislation I have ever heard.

Let's use your implied definition of what the "oath of office" entails and apply it to a few things and see if President Jhoffa is violating his oath of office if he does not issue and EO overturning or refusing to enforce the following "unconstitutional" laws on the books

Roe v. Wade

The Brady Bill

Nafta

The war on drugs

The CFR that the new one replaces

Flag burning as political speech

If the president violates his oath by passing laws he has constitutional reservations with, is he not violating his oath when he enforces laws that large segments and even he feels are equally unconstitutional?

And now people like you want to add to that list by advocating even more UnConstitutional Legslation?

Give me a break. your excuses get lamer and lamer.

A minute ago you called this another Bush master stroke.

God, is there no depth to which you won't sink?

It's okay to pass UnConstitutional Legslation because:

1) It's a bush "master stroke" that will save us all.

2) Other President's have done it and successfully slid it past the Supreme's. So, now the door is open and the oath of office and the Constitution are null and void.

3) Well, the Supreme's will veto the UnConstitutional parts.. Just like they did with the Brady Bill and the rest of the things in my list.

(Does that sound about right TF? That is your position, isn't it?)
