It would be better if our limp wristed spelunkers in the Senate would grow some balls. But...

...strictly out of curiosity... if the bill is signed, and then the Supremes rule those unconstitutional parts as as unconstitutional, what part of the bill will remain?

Will that part be to the liking of those who originally crafted that piece of $#%&?

I'm just guessing here, or perhaps just hoping, but it could turn out to be a knife in the crook's backs if their bill gets reduced only to the constitutional parts. That's why I am curious to see what won't get struck down.

It could backfire big-time on the authors of the original piece of $#!t. I wonder if there are any lawyer-types out there who could predict what this bill will look like once it is gutted of its foul parts... and what effect the reborn bill will then have?

Our President doesn't think much of his duty to uphold the Constitution. No wonder he wants to perpetrate constitutionally forcible rape along with the Congress. Talk about restoring dignity and respect to our government.

Your guesstimates are correc. The Dems are already howling that they don't much like this Bill as it stands ! Once the DC wipes out the unConstirurional parts, they'l like it even less !

Bush's signing the Bill, removes entirely , the ability of his opponents to hang him on vetoing / stoping it. It's a knife in their backs ; a double whammy.
