CFR Never Should Have Gone This Far
as its the President's job is to defend the constitution not trash it. Can you say Veto? I new you could.

Ever heard of politics??? I know it's an ugly business but it is the business of Washington. Every single congressman and senator takes the same oath to uphold the constitution. BUSH wanted the "hard money" limit raised, and it was, to $2000 and indexed. The rest is up to the courts. If 3 judges took up 1700 pages just trying to explain themselves, how much chance do you think BUSH would have with every major media outlet and the majority of congress against him, were he to try and explain a veto. This was the path of least resistance, you and I might have preferred sticking it to the McCainiacs but it wasn't "prudent".

So you agree that he has broken his Oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States for political expediency?

Is this something that you admire in a President?
