This issue has “Kiss o’ Death” all over it for Republicans, you can see that just from there forums, people are very very angry over Border Security.
Quite simply, the Republican Senators up for election in 08 will not follow Jorge’ over the cliff on this one.
That may be the case, but I think it is likely that a number of Democrats will change their vote the second time around. Enough to let the veto stand? No idea. But it won’t be any 89-1 vote to override the veto.
While on the subject, for Bush to veto funding designed to simply enforce the law is extremely galling. It is a shame we can’t boot his sorry butt out if he does that. Again, I think as commander in chief his actions to thwart border security at the time he claims we are “at war” is clearly grounds for impeachment. He is blatantly refusing to uphold his oath of office to protect & defend this country.
