I agree with you-- Bush signs the CFR bill so that it will be declared unconstitutional. Then neither McCain nor Daschle nor anyone can get in Bush's face and say he was anti-campaign reform-- and a Consitiutional issue is settled, not to rear its ugly head again any time soon.

It is, the Only way to kill it. Veto, or Filibuster, would only have kept the issue around.

38 senators voted against it. Do these mypoic bastards expect people to believe that McConnell couldn't get 2 more for a filibuster???? He just about declared he did, then changed his tune....After being instructed by the WH.

Ever heard of ends not justifying means?

"Bush signs the CFR bill so that it will be declared unconstitutional."

And how do you know this? Bush has never said as much. Did he sign the education spending bill in hopes that such a waste of the taxpayers' money would be declared unconstitutional? Did he sign the Patriot Act hoping it would be declared unconstitutional?

He could have not signed it, it would have become law anyways.
