I'm more conservative than most people that post here, and I was furious that GW signed that piece of $h*t, but after a few martinis and much FR time I do believe he just "got 'em by the short and curlies". The part of this legislation that is going to be stuck down by SCOTUS is a RAT making (need to point this out during Senate campaigns). The vote of SCOTUS, if not 9-0, need to be pointed out to the electorate as well (highlighting the need for more conservative appointments to the Court).
If the SCOTUS vote is 5-4 to strike down GW can point to the Libs as examples of that kind of Justice being dangerous to the Constitution. If the vote is 7-2 the same scenerio plays. If the vote comes out 9-0 (as it should) the President & the Pubbies attack (and I mean ATTACK) the socialist bastards that pressed to violate the Constitution, and their sacred oath with the insertion of the parts of the bill that were unconsitutional (well documented in the Congression Record).
We have a winner here people, and I think the RATS have just figured that part out. They just gave us the ballbat to beat their brains in, now we have to use it.
It just goes to show you what a couple of martinis, a good cigar, and good debate from good friends here at FR can do. I'll bet that if we put our minds (collectively) to it, we could cure cancer. So, let's be calm, and patient, and watch this thing play it's self out. This is like the Klamauth (sp, remember--tee martunies, er, uh) thing, it take time, faith, and perserverience to win, but win we will!
In short, the socialists gave us lemons. Now let's just get a little spring water and some sugar, and a little touch of mint, and we'll be serving some good old west Texas lemonade before you know it.
Add this factoid to the list of plusses. The RATS need to explain to their own liberal groups why they shut their speech down. Even the ACLU is angry. They would have been fine if the bill was veto bait but Bush didn't bite.
