Well, I see your point and agree. I don't like it, but IF in the end the SCOTUS kills it dead, then "W" is even better than I give him credit for. I don't like the method (signing POS legislation to shut people up knowing it will be killed in the end) but I think most of us, including "W", want the same result.
Prediction: When the SC kills this thing, the old complaints about "W" and the SC being in cahoots will come back up.
You are right on target. Has anyone seen any Dems happily on the airwaves supporting this bill? I think their whole strategy was to force Bush to veto the bill, so they could constantly bring it back to life, in God knows what kind of grotesque manifestations-like Frankenstein's monster. By signing the bill, Bush just drove a stake through Frankenstein's heart and the Dems know it.
