Your tactic might work except for one thing. Bush already, publicly, announced that he will re-authorize the ban when it expires. He also has admitted to someone (a neighbor of his ranch) that he knows this ban has Constitutional problems.

Clinton really set the precedent for ignoring the Constitution, and Bush is just pushing the envelope. I don't think that many of us in his base of support expected this, and I for one have already made up my mind that he and/or the Republican party will get no further support from me. I'm sorry, but the Constitution and the freedoms that it protects are just too important for anyone to play games with on my dime.

If the thing doesn't reach his desk, then he cannot re-authorize it, can he? Or are you going to run off and give us Hillary?
