And you don't think that can happen? The Mediscare drug benefit bill got past the House. So did CFR, the "Patriot" Act, the education bill, the agriculture bill, etc. The House is not immune to making bad, very bad and dangerous decisions, especially if the media pressure is overwhelming.
I would feel much better if Bush had come out promising a veto if a new AWB was sent to him. Maybe then, the chickensh** Pubbies would have the backbone to stand and fight for the Constitution, instead of running away and wetting their pants in the corner. But as it is, the Stupid Party won't even dare to sneeze if they don't know in advance that Bush would be waiting to say "Bless you".
