I agree with everything in the article, except the part about "Bush's misguided signature".
The writer apparently does not give him credit for sending this mess to the courts. It has been bandied about as a political issue by the dems for 12 years. Enough is enough.
WSJ is still on the learning curve about "mis-underestimating" President Bush.

WSJ is still on the learning curve about "mis-underestimating" President Bush. Passing the bill so that it can shot down in the courts is a piss poor excuse for dubya signing it. What if it isn't declared unconstitutional? The president has a responsibility to veto unconstitutional legislation. No Excuses!

It may have been brilliant to send it to the court, but every person that voted for it, and when Bush signed it, they all broke their oaths of office.
If they feel it is unconstitutional, it is their duty to either A: not vote for it, and B: not sign it.
THe courts should not recieve such Blatantly unconstitutional laws, because they should be kicked out in the legislative level, and if not there, then the executive level. Unconstitutional Laws should not exist beyond Congress.
