I disagree that he did the right thing. It is never the right thing to sign an unconstitutional law. But right now it doesn't matter. He got lucky, but it isn't over until the SCOTUS sings. I think we will be okay there.

Of that, really, I'm about 99.99% positive! : )

I agree. The President let us all down by signing an unconstitutional law. His veto would have probably been sustained. Our entire political system has suffered a black eye since our politicians showed they could not give a damn about the Constitution. I'm sure if our Congresscritters thought they could repeal the First Amendment a majority of them probably would vote today to get rid of it.

Well, in principle I agree but in practical terms, since politicians aren't necessarily the sharpest tools in the shed, how do we know if something is unconstitutional until it is ruled as such. Of course, we all knew it was unconstitutional but the dems and McCain certainly didn't think so. Ergo, a ruling was necessary to settle the issue.

Did you think Clinton should have signed the line item veto we sent even though we knew it was unconstitutional when we voted for it and sent it to his desk?
