No it's NOT. It's the latter. Listen, the Dems are already on record saying this is only the first step towards their ultimate goal which is public financing of campaigns. If Bush vetoed, the issue would become even more front and center (at least with the media and the Congress, not with the people) than it is already. A firm ruling by the SCOTUS will put the brakes on the entire agenda. It is the best and most effective way to stopping it. The bill stinks, Bush knows it, and this is the best route to proving it.

Bush understands the balance of power. It is NOT his place to determine whether the law is constitutional or not. That's the judicial branch. He knows it is flawed. He said so. He know the Supreme Court (where this will eventually land) is still conservative. His job is to appoint more consevative judges. Let's get behind him and elect conservative legislature so his appoinments can take office.
Some of you need to retake "Government 101" The president of the US is not a dictator. Our forefounders established three branches of government for a reason. Let's see how this plays out.
