He has done so much, especially restoring the dignity and honor to the oval office. Remember every time Clinton used the Constitution to clean mud of his shoes? We'd howl like banshees! We beat our breasts in anger and to deaf ears. But now President Bush has done the same, cutting swaths out of the 1st Amendment with a stroke of the pen. He told conservative groups everywhere thatthe bill had 6 points about it that he opposed, and first off, that it was a violation of our First Amendment rights. And then he signed it.

Political move or not, he has urinated on the Constitution, the people, the law, and we, his supporters. And I cannot abide that. I will not vote for him. I will not support him in any other way than as Commander in Chief.

Will you issue an apology if the court upholds ALL provisons of CFR?

I think your view is very short sighted. Wait and see how this plays out. The unconstitutional aspects of this bill are very likely to be overturned before the bill ever takes effect. They are almost certain to be overturned before 2004, the first year they would have any impact.

Once the bad aspects are vetoed, the overall effect of what remains is mostly positive. The doubling of our ability to directly support candidates means a lot. So do some of the other aspects of the bill.

Unless it is enforced and then found unconstitutional by the Supreme Court it has not violated our Constitutional Rights. It may theoretically violate what you and I would like to think are our rights, but it is just wishful thinking. We are not the arbiters, we have delegated that decision to the Supreme Court. This bill will be tested and found either constitutional or not long before it ever impacts on any of us.

You are either posturing or hysterical.
