The second one is that there will be a new President--that Bush will be a one-termer--I can assure you there are many here at FR that would fight you tooth and nail over that.
The third assumption is that the Supreme Court will cut and hack this thing to pieces.....how can anyone be so confident in the Supreme Court when yesterday's ruling regarding public housing occupants being responsible for what visitors do EVEN outside their rented premises--that was a unanimous vote!
One thing is obvious--even yourself said--there is a large amount of unconstitutionality involved with this bill....and that is what we have to live with unless and until someone says otherwise.
And for the record, McCain and his buddies like Shay insist this was only the first in a series. But, why are you so obsessed with McCain and the media....your candidate took care of him!
As it is , the Country has just been shown that the Republican Party s***s on the Constitution, as well--perhaps even more so because it appears from the language the President used in announcing why he was signing the bill, he acknowledges the unconstitutionality, but it didn't bother him--because he signed it--whereas, I've not heard the liberal scumbags talk like that--the Pervert didn't, as I recall. And all the Representatives and Senators (GOP) that voted for it did the same thing....is it any wonder we have youth that have no sense of rightness or wrongness when there are no models to guide them, but there's a ton of models to lead them the other way?
Watching the moral equivocating, logic bending and wild rationalization to explain away anti-Constitutional politics in the GOP brings back memories of why I renounced the democrats a decade ago.
