Respectfully, I don't understand how this could be construed as winning liberty. I think a veto, along with an explanation to the American public regarding rights and the Constitution, would have been a brilliant defense of liberty. I also believe it would have been a politically adept move, cementing Bush's image as a principled fighter.
