CFR isn't a dealbreaker with me, bt it's pretty close.

How in the world can you sign something that's UnConstitutional and then expect to the Supreme Court to play "goalie" and prevent serious damage from being done?

Signing this bill is risking the Bill of Rights for political gain.

It's gambling with our rights to avoid looking "bad"

How the hell is this consistant with the oath Dubya took to uphold the Constitution? It's literally Betting the First Amendment on a crapshoot.

Hell no. Its not the CFR, Jhoffa. ITS the fact the GW is willing to sign something he knows is unconstitutional.

Why is it whenever anything passes you guys dont like you make like its a constitutional crisis? Do you have any sense of perspective. You all sound like Bush was single handedly censoring the press, locking up his enemies without trial, and breaking down doors to take peoples guns away.

The parts of this law that are clearly not going to pass constitutional muster are goign to be stripped from the bill by the courts prior to the laws goign into effect. And if the courts dont strip those parts out, then they werent unconstitutional in the first place. Stupid legislation yes, but then what else would you expect from Washington.
