All I know is there exists a tape wherein Bush states that CFR is unconstitutional and that for that reason if elected president he will veto it. He said it unequivically. And you can bet it will be used just as READ MY LIPS was by the very democrats who pushed the bill

He has very high poll numbers and is in no political danger and could have easily explained his reasoning to the public for his veto

Now we have a GOP senator leading an effort to have a law that a GOP president signed OVERTURNED

We now also have a situation where the NRA MUST use bafdly needed funds in an effort to protect its members right of free speech supposedly protected by the First Amendment

In the past the SCOTUS WARNED the congress that it was not good lawmaking practice to use the SCOTUS as a constitutionality filter. I would assume the same goes for the president

And you can bet it will be used just as READ MY LIPS was by the very democrats who pushed the bill

Explain how they will do that, please, sir. He signed a bill they BEGGED and THREATENED for; how can they turn that around and bash him with it?

Actually the NRA sould let Mitch McConnell and his team torpedo this bill.

My ubderstanding is that this bill would allolw the courts to find portions of the bill unconstitutional and allow other parts of the bill to stand. As opposed to the court striking down the entire bill.
Is this correct?

My guess is that Bush was working with McConnell to create a situation where the hard money limits are raised, where the unions & corps can appropriate members& shareholders money, but the limits on ads will be struck down. THis would inflict great harm on the rats. It would also hamstring congressional attampts to limit free speech by outside groups.

How hard do you think the Bush justice dept will defend the noxious portions of this bill in the courts?

Politics with the rats is a war and wars are dirty. We get our noses bent out of shape by the tatics employed, it will be instructive to see how this turns out. Bush is either a Machiavellian genius or a total corrupt fool.

I suspect he is not a total fool.
