This bill was passed so overwhelmingly that a veto would have been over-ridden rapidly and by a wide margin.
The same situation applied to the farm bill which was enacted into law at about the same time.

That's true, and it was passed by both parties, almost unanimously. I don't remember Bush fighting it, either. Not a word. You can't blame the Dems for this, no matter how lousy they are. Everyone did this TSA thing.
