Perhaps "marker in their agenda" is the wrong term. I was in a hurry. My point is that the Dems have no intention of stopping here. Feingold et al are only calling this a "first step." To where, you ask? Complete public financing of campaigns.

So, when the SCOTUS strikes this down, it will put a stop (or pause) to further legislation. I believe this is precisely why Bush signed the dumb thing. Without a court ruling, this issue will go on and on and on. Time to settle it and shut up the stupid sanctimonius 'reformers.'

So, why doesn't the President say as much? Just say those words. SPEAK TO THE NATION. It sems every opportunity just goes by the way.
