[Congressman Billybob]

The fact that the President has caved and trashed the Constitution allows me to speak freely. The plan I read, that he SHOULD have followed, is posted on this thread. I am now ashamed of the President, fearful for the Constitution, and have my work cut out for me.

We all have work to do. We need to go back to FReeping the White House.

Can someone tell me why he is signing this bill? If he were governing by the polls, he would veto it, right? An earlier post indicates 78% of people think he should veto it. If he weren't governing by the polls, as he would seem not to be, then he is likely acting on principle, or trying to ensure a smoother working relationship with, and among, the Congress. So which of the two is it?

The plan you outlined can still be implemented. In fact, it actually requires him to sign the bill. I'm disappointed, but I will stick with him - at least until after the mid-term elections. We really need to get back control of the senate. Remember, if it weren't for Jeffords this would be a non-issue.

BillyBob you have the most intelligent suggestion on the way this should have been handled. Unfortunately, "Carl" what-his name dosen't have a clue!

"He should have gotten an Opinion from the Attorney General that the bill was unconstitutional. Then he should have signed the bill into law, but also instructed the Solicitor General to go into court that day, seeking an injuction against ANY use of or application of that law, pending Supreme Court review. "

He can still do this. He hasn't even received the bill, much less signed it.
As a matter of fact, I believe he should do this on the day he actually signs the bill for maximum effect.
Then, send it immediately to the USSC and have them expedite it.
It would be a done deal before it goes into effect and it will take care of the only issue McCain has.

Yep, my name is "Pollyanna". ;o)
